Several Reasons Why Treated Pine Is So Popular

Treated pine decking has attained huge popularity because of numerous features that this material comes with. Some that can be counted on fingertips are they are durable, they are available economically, they are very safe for use and so on. Other than this, there are a number of other reasons why this material has attained so much popularity and here in this post, we take a look at some of them.

• One of the top features of treated pine as well as treated timber is that they are both readily available and moreover, they are available very economically as compared to others.
• The reason is that the treated pine decks the pine wood is treated under pressure with water-borne preservatives that help to keep the wood from getting infected.
• However, an important point related to treated pine is that the preservatives used in them contain Arsenic that is a major pollutant that contaminates water and can be very harmful for humans.
• However, things are changing now and there has been a huge change in the processing mechanism used in relation to treated pine.
• These days, treated pine manufacturers use micronised copper Quaternary that is very safe and it also retains the original color of the pine wood.

• One more feature of new timber flooring is that the timber is outsourced from the locations that are marked as environmentally friendly.
• However, deforestation has already started to show its impact on our earth and because of this, this industry is also evolving based on the ever changing conditions.
• The companies selling them are the member of the Australian Timber Flooring Association, i.e. an organisation dedicated towards determining that only sustainable timber is brought into use.
• They also make sure that whatever timber is used, it is derived from "carefully managed Australian forests" and that the companies engaged in manufacturing floor boards are committed to only installing timber from renewable resources.

• One more benefit of new timber floors is that with them, there comes an assurance that the carbon is locked up and this is very important because of several reasons.
• We all know that one of the main contributors to climate change is the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment.
• We also know that carbon is absorbed by trees as they grow up and experts believe that new timber is actually a good way to keep this carbon locked.
• Yes, the fact is that around half of the weight of dry timber floorboards is carbon that can't be released back into the atmosphere.
