Wood preservation by pressure impregnation: pressure treated wood
Wood preservation is achieved by impregnating fungi and insect repellants. A lot of wood that is used outside is impregnated. This is often done with the aid of a pressure vessel, in which the wood is brought under vacuum, after which the impregnating agent is added. Due to the vacuum, the agent will be introduced into the pores of the wood.
Depending on the quality of the impregnating substances used and the duration of the treatment, impregnated wood meets the application class 3 or 4 (note, the application class is opposite to the durability class!).
- Application class 3: wood exposed to weather conditions without ground contact, then you need durability class 1, 2 or 3 if impregnated class 3.
- Application class 4: Wood exposed to weather conditions with permanent ground contact, then you need durability class
