Hardwood 100×16 x 1800mm ACQ H3 Palings

Hardwood 100x16 x 1800mm ACQ H3 Palings

Our premium hardwood palings, measuring 100x16mm and 1.8m in length, are treated with Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) to ensure superior durability and safety. ACQ treatment is a modern, eco-friendly wood preservation method that enhances the longevity of timber without the use of harmful chemicals like arsenic or chromium.

Benefits of ACQ Treatment:

• Enhanced Durability: The combination of copper and quaternary ammonium compounds in ACQ effectively protects wood against decay, fungi, termites, and other wood-boring insects, ensuring a longer lifespan for your structures. citeturn0search10
• Eco-Friendly Composition: ACQ-treated timber is free from arsenic and chromium, making it a safer choice for both the environment and human health. This treatment minimizes chemical leaching, reducing soil and water contamination. citeturn0search12
• Versatility in Applications: The safety profile of ACQ-treated timber makes it suitable for environments where human contact is frequent. It's an excellent choice for constructing fences, decking, playground equipment, and outdoor furniture. Notably, its non-toxic nature makes it ideal for use in sensitive areas such as childcare centers, schools, parks, and community gardens, where children's safety is a priority. citeturn0search1
• Aesthetic Appeal: Initially presenting a greenish hue, ACQ-treated timber weathers gracefully to a honey-brown color and eventually to a natural driftwood grey when exposed to the elements. This natural aging process enhances the visual appeal of outdoor structures. citeturn0search10
• Paint and Stain Friendly: The treated wood readily accepts paints and stains, allowing customization to match specific design aesthetics and color schemes.

Incorporating our ACQ-treated hardwood palings into your projects ensures a blend of safety, durability, and environmental responsibility, making them a superior choice for a wide range of applications.
