What is UC4 Pressure Treatment?
UC4 Pressure Treatment refers to a high level of timber preservation designed to protect wood that comes into contact with the ground or is exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. "UC" stands for "Use Class," and UC4 is specifically intended for timber that will be in direct contact with the ground or moisture -rich environments.
Why should I buy UC4 Treated Decking?
Ground Contact: UC4 is specifically formulated for timber that will have direct contact with the ground or be exposed to moisture and soil.
Longevity: UC4-treated wood is designed for a longer lifespan compared to lower-grade treatments.
Treatment Process: The treatment involves placing the wood in a vacuum or pressure chamber, where preservatives are forced deep into the wood fibers, providing lasting protection.
