Treated Wood Products
Through advanced techniques and sustainable methods, Sveden Trä offers a wide range of treated wood products that meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Impregnation
By treating the wood with various wood preservatives, it is possible to inhibit or prevent attacks from wood-destroying organisms.
Pressure impregnation takes place in an autoclave under a controlled process with liquid & vacuum. Pressure impregnation is mainly done with pine and spruce. In pine, it is the sapwood that has the ability to absorb wood preservatives, while the heartwood only gets a superficial penetration. For impregnated pine to have better durability, all sapwood must be impregnated all the way to the core. When impregnating spruce, a limited amount of impregnating agent penetrates the wood.
For pressure-impregnated wood that is sold in the Nordic countries, there is a classification system developed by the NTR (Nordic Wood Preservation Council) based on European standards for wood preservation-treated wood. We are approved & have certificates to impregnate NTR-AB, NTR-A and NTR-GRAN. We can also brown impregnate (NTR-AB).
Treated wood must be used outdoors. NTR-impregnated products do not require maintenance and are a guarantee for long-lasting durability and protection against rot for at least 20 years, however, the product must be used correctly. The wood will grey/fade over the years, to maintain a fresher surface it is possible to wash and coat it with wood oil.
Did you know that you can save both time and money while reducing environmental impact by having your wood products industrially treated?
Surface treatment
By choosing industrially painted wood products, you save both time and money. When it comes to your facade and other exterior painting, you also don't have to stress about applying a topcoat, as the wood has a basic protection through the industrial surface treatment. When you are ready to apply the topcoat, you also have the best conditions for the paint to adhere, which also makes it easier for you.
Acrylic
Acrylic paint is a water-based paint. Acrylic paint is free from strong solvents and has a minimal odor, making it one of the more environmentally friendly options.
Alkyd
Alkyd paint is an oil-based paint that provides a harder and more robust surface. Alkyd paint creates a durable surface that is easy to maintain.
Slurry
Slurry paint provides good protection for the underlying wood and is best suited for wood products that have an unplaned surface. Slurry paint allows the wood to breathe, and repainting with slurry paint is very easy.
Certified Painted Panel
Certified painted panel is a type of treated wood product that Sveden Trä offers. This panel has undergone a specific process where the panel has been checked and approved by a third party to meet specific quality and performance standards.
The painting is done with specially adapted paint that is designed to give the panel a beautiful appearance while protecting the wood against weather conditions, UV radiation and other damage. The advantages of this type of panel include easy installation, low maintenance, durability and aesthetically pleasing results.
