Does tanalised timber protect from dry rot?
It will help, but the best way to prevent dry rot is to keep timber dry and to ensure it gets enough ventilation.
Can you colour stain tanalised decking?
Yes, you can color stain tanalised decking, but it's essential to ensure that the wood is properly prepared first. Tanalised timber is treated with preservatives, so allowing it to dry for a few months after installation is crucial to ensure the stain adheres properly. Use a high-quality, semi-transparent or transparent stain specifically designed for outdoor use to enhance the wood's natural appearance while providing protection. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
How do you tanalise timber?
Timber is 'TANALISED' (treated) in an industrial treatment vessel using TANALITH preservative applied using vacuum pressure technology. TANALITH and TANALISED are registered trade marks of the preservative manufacturer, Arch Timber Protection, and may only be used to describe industrial timber treatment using TANALITH preservative. The treatment process consists of 5 stages: 1. Timber is loaded into the treatment vessel. An initial vacuum is applied, and the timber cells are evacuated of air. This vacuum is held. 2. The cylinder is flooded under vacuum with TANALITH wood preservative. 3. Hydraulic pressure is applied, forcing the preservative deep into the structure of the timber. 4. A final vacuum extracts excess preservative solution, which is then pumped back into storage. 5. Low pressure inside timber draws in surface solution when vented to atmosphere. The treated timber is then left to dry - a minimum holding time of 48 hours is recommended. In Europe, TANALITH E preservative is used, which contains copper and triazole biocides, which are commonly used to protect food crops. TANALISED E pressure treated timber can be used in a range of applications, from construction timbers through to heavy duty, highway fencing applications, where a desired service life of 15 years plus can reasonably be expected. Note that where TANALISED treated timber is cross cut, notched or bored following treatment, liberal coating of ENSELE end grain preservative is required to maintain the integrity of the preservative system. Further information on TANALITH E and the treatment process can be found on the Arch Timber Protection website at www.archtp.com.

Can i treat tanalised wood?
Yes, you can treat tanalised wood, which has been pressure-treated with preservatives to protect against rot and insects. However, it’s important to ensure that the wood is fully dry before applying any additional treatments, such as stains or sealants, to ensure proper adhesion and effectiveness. Products specifically designed for treated wood are recommended for optimal results.
How long it takes timber to rot?
The time it takes for timber to rot varies significantly based on factors such as wood type, environmental conditions, and exposure to moisture. In moist, warm environments, untreated wood can begin to show signs of decay within a few months to a few years. In contrast, treated wood or wood in dry conditions can last much longer, potentially decades. Ultimately, regular maintenance and protective treatments can greatly extend the life of timber.
