GREAT USES OF TREATED PINE SLEEPERS

Great Uses For Treated Pine Sleepers

Saturated with chemical solutions containing preservatives, insecticides and fungicides, treated pine sleepers offer excellent innate properties that safely enhance the performance of any project employing treated pine. Because these solutions are forced deeply into treated pine, sleepers exhibit an almost permanent resistance to pest destruction, decay and various wood-destroying stressors. This makes treated pine sleepers extremely versatile and suitable for use in applications where raw pine is definitely not suitable.

WHAT MAKES TREATED PINE SLEEPERS SO IMPERVIOUS AND DURABLE?

Carrolls Wholesale Timber offers pine sleepers treated with CCA and ACQ, two safe and widely used wood preservatives that are manufactured to international and national standards per region of intended use. CCA provides powerful protection against wood-destroying insects such as marine borers and termites. ACQ, a combination of copper, a quaternary ammonium compound, fungicide and bactericide, significantly increases tolerance of treated pine sleepers to copper-resistant fungi and bacteria while acting as a potent insecticide.

For example, treated pine is economical and dependable, capable of lasting without degrading or experiencing for 40 years or more. In addition, treated pine’s durable qualities means they won’t need repair or replacement every few years due to environmental stress or insect infestation.

• In addition to making the best use of a reduced space, tiered or raised gardens demarcated by treated pine sleepers can flourish where plant diseases attributed to fungal decay, insects and rot are prevented from infiltrating the soil.

• Treated pine sleepers with ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary) provide superior building materials for environments where sustained high humidity exists because of ACQ’s water-based preservative properties.

• Although standard steel fasteners tend to degrade when used with treated pine containing copper, you can easily substitute steel fasteners with stainless steel or galvanized fasteners that resist corrosion when used with treated pine sleepers.
