What type of preservative wood should we choose for outdoor flooring?
Release time:2025-03-12
Preserved wood is treated with preservatives. Consumers are most concerned about the potential harm of these preservatives to humans and the safety of different preservative treatments. Early preserved wood used CCA—C, B wood preservatives. While these preservatives have some toxicity, the risk is relatively low due to their exclusive outdoor use. Now, ACQ—D, C, B wood preservatives are available. Preserved wood treated with this preservative meets environmental standards and has significantly reduced toxicity, allowing consumers to purchase with confidence.
Advantages of Preserved Wood [Preservative, Insect Resistant] As the name suggests, preserved wood has a preservative effect, making it a popular material for outdoor flooring. Preserved wood flooring effectively prevents microbial erosion and insect infestation. Its water, rot, and insect resistance allows it to withstand harsh outdoor environments without requiring much maintenance.
However, as outdoor preserved wood is not specially treated to control thermal expansion and contraction, it is prone to significant deformation. When installing preserved wood flooring, gaps are usually left between boards, and the boards are often raised like a lattice, allowing for easy cleaning or retrieval of dropped items.
[Multiple Uses] While preserved wood flooring is one of its primary uses, preserved wood can also be used to create other outdoor products such as tables, chairs, swings, grape arbors, and even wooden houses, as commonly seen in foreign home gardens. Increasingly, more people in China are living in villas and incorporating preserved wood furniture into their yards as a point of interest.
Preserved wood furniture is not expensive, comparable to ordinary furniture. Although it has a relatively rough appearance, it better reflects a natural style. But will the preservative effect be compromised by cutting? This is not a concern because, due to its processing, its preservative properties remain unaffected regardless of how it's manipulated.
