What is Treated Timber?
Treated timber is timber that which has been appropriately treated with preservative chemicals with the intent of prolonging its intended lifecycle.
The quality of timber can deteriorate from the effect of water, fungal decay, and the activity of insects, such as beetles and termites.
Therefore, the introduction of chemical preservatives helps extend the life of timber, and, in turn, reduces the levels of upkeep and repair needed.
The Mick George Group have a full range of treated timber that are suitable for all construction projects.

Treated Timber Benefits
As a building material, treated timber offers several unique advantages over natural wood timber, as well as other building products. Below is an example of different benefits you can experience when using treated timber.
- Moisture Resistance – Treated timber uses one of several chemical compounds based on copper, which is a natural biocide, protecting it from fungus and other microorganisms that cause wood to decay in moist environments.
- Cost – Compared to natural wood, pressure treated wood is more expensive. However, it is worth it for any application that requires resistance to water, microorganisms, fungal growth or insect damage.
- Durability – Compared to products like steel, treated timber is lightweight and can be easily moved, and it does not require special techniques like welding to complete projects. With treated timber, almost anything can be built quickly and easily, with little or no experience.
- Variety of Sizes – Treated timber is available in a wide array of sizes for different applications.
No, treated timber isn’t waterproof. The chemical preservatives present in the wood can’t protect it from decay. That means treated timber can absorb moisture and rot over time.

Wood that has been pressure treated should last a good 15 years, or more if they are well cared for.
Timber products that are pressure treated won’t rot or decay anywhere near as fast as untreated timber would.

Treated timber is perfectly acceptable to use outside. Treated timber can withstand the elements, making it perfect for decking, external structures, and other uses.
