Celcure® Timber Care

Whatever you build with Celcure® preserved timber will last a long time. It makes sense therefore that you take appropriate care of your project.

Use an End Coat Preservative

Any surface exposed by drilling or cutting must be coated with a cut end preservative. Failure to do this will reduce the effectiveness of the preservative. It is recommended that the coated ends are not put in the ground or in direct contact with water. Rip sawing; thicknessing and planing are not permitted unless the timber is subsequently processed to the original specification.

The Right Fixings

When working with Celcure® preserved timber, it is important that you use the right fixings. Use fixings, hardware or any metal products as recommended by their manufacturer.

Do not use Celcure® products in direct contact with aluminium. It is good practice to drill pilot holes for fixings when screwing near the edge or end of a piece of timber. Celcure preserved timber can be glued with most commonly used adhesives once dry.

Applying a Finish

If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellent or other finish to your preserved wood, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions and label of the finishing product.

Before you start, we recommend that you apply the finishing product to a small test area before finishing the entire project to ensure that it provides the intended result.

Weather Protection

As a matter of good practice, any exposed timber, preserved or not, should be protected from the weather.

Enhanced weather protection can be obtained through the application a weather resistant finish. Application of a quality clear water repellent or semi-transparent stain is recommended. Alternatively, deck oil can be used to maintain a modern natural look. Always follow manufacturer's recommendations.
