Timber is a natural, durable material, but it does require ongoing care to remain in good condition.
Why treatment is necessary
Timber buildings must be treated to:
Protect against moisture
Prevent rot and decay
Maintain appearance
Keep the warranty valid
How often will treatment be needed?
Initial treatment should be applied shortly after installation, with re-treatment required periodically depending on exposure and product used.
Natural movement and weathering
Timber will naturally expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. This is normal and part of owning a timber building.
Regular maintenance will help ensure your summerhouse or garden room lasts for many years.
