At Bedford Timber Supplies, we pride ourselves on our flexibility, providing the option to send timber for treatment in its original size or custom machined to suit your exact specifications. The following information is from WJ Group who we can treat timber through:

Low Pressure Treatment

High Pressure Treatment

Fire Retardant Treatment

Long term protection for low to medium risk interior and weather-protected exterior applications as well as protecting construction-grade timbers such as CLS framing and joinery. The treatment leaves a yellow hue to comply with building site colour requirements. The treatment is applied using a double vacuum process and the active ingredients in the treatment provide lifetime protection against insects and fungi when applied in Class 2 environments.

High Pressure Treatment

Timber that’s used in close contact with the ground or in external environments needs the highest level of treatment due to its exposure to moisture and rainfall, the biggest contributors to mould and wood rot. High-pressure timber treatments protect against these risks by using a water-based treatment process to embed the preservative deep within the wood, providing excellent durability & mould resistance and leaves a green hue. Treatment available to Class 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Fire Retardant Treatment

Through the use of an autoclave, we use the latest high-pressure treatment technology to impregnate BURNBLOCK fire retardant into a variety of timber and plywood species, as well as scaffolding and external timber cladding such as siberian larch. The treatment is clear and transparent so it doesn’t leave any visible stains or imperfections in the timber. It is also 100% natural, non-toxic and biodegradable. Our specialist kiln drying facility allows us to return timber to an appropriate or specified moisture level post-treatment, supporting construction standards to hold 10–18% moisture.

Bespoke Jobs

Moreover, if you require a completely tailored product, we can create it for you and then arrange for the entire piece to undergo treatment.

This bespoke gate was carefully crafted for a customer and then sent to be treated, ensuring its long-lasting quality. To protect and maintain its condition during transit, we designed a custom frame to keep it secure. The final treatment process resulted in the creation of the quality finished product.
