Timber Impregnation and Drying: Why They Are Important for Material Longevity

To protect and extend the lifespan of wood, we perform timber impregnation using top-quality protective agents. Timber impregnation is a process of treating wood with special protective substances to increase its resistance to moisture, harmful microorganisms, insects, and other external influences. This way, the wood gains long-term protection, ensuring the preservation of its quality and durability under various usage conditions.

Timber Impregnation Process

Before the impregnation process itself, the wooden surface must be thoroughly cleaned, sanded in the direction of the grain, and completely dry to allow the protective agent to penetrate evenly into the wood structure. During application, the agent is applied in an even layer without excess, and any excess is removed with a cloth to achieve a uniform final appearance. Timber impregnation should be repeated every few years, especially for wood used outdoors.

The main advantages of timber impregnation are:

• preservation of wood structure,

• prevention of deformation and rotting,

• preservation of functionality and aesthetics,

• extension of lifespan.

Timber Drying

Taratrans also performs drying of sawn timber from its own supply, to the moisture content level you require. Drying sawn timber is a controlled process of removing moisture from wood under specific temperature and ventilation conditions to improve stability and prepare it for further processing. Proper drying prevents cracking, warping, and dimensional changes, which is essential for quality production of furniture, construction, and other wood-based products.

Advantages of timber drying include:

• increased stability and durability,

• reduced risk of warping and other irregularities,

• improved mechanical resistance,

• enhanced strength and easier workability.

To ensure your timber retains optimal properties and is ready for long-term use, quality drying and impregnation are essential. Give your wood durability and protection with the expert drying and impregnation service from Taratrans – call us today!
