VTX Preservative Treated European Redwood

European Redwood (Scotts Pine) is widely sourced in the north-west of Norway, spreading east through northern Europe. With great machining properties and a cell structure that is open to receiving high pressure treatment, the species is ideally suited to our VTX Preservative ® range.

Providing a copper and water based treatment, the VTX Preservative range offers a 30 year warranty against rot and fungal decay when installed on a ventilated backing structure (UC3 treated). Being a preservative treatment, not a coating, there is no requirements to overcoat the product to ensure ongoing performance.

Treatment options:
VTX Pigmented ® – The treatment contains brown pigments and dyes. Upon exposure to UV light these pigments will enrich in colour before offering a level of colour stability for a number of years (subject elevation/ exposure and detailing). This process is often requested to slow the initial weathering of timber, without the need to introduce a coating.

VTX Zero ® – A treatment which does not contain any pigment or dyes. Left exposed, VTX Zero treated timber will begin to weather down. Over time, the wood will begin to turn a silver-grey. This weathered appearance is sometimes purposely sought by architects or clients who want a softer, weathered tone of board.

Grades:
A fair spread of knots throughout the volume.
A+ almost free of knots. Approx. 1 knot per 1m length of timber.
