	Timber treatment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timber treatment or lumber treatment in forestry describes the intensive treatment of timber with chemical agents to increase its durability and ability to be used in an otherwise inappropriate situation like inground use.
		Timber or lumber may be treated with a preservative that protects it from being destroyed by insects, fungus or exposure to moisture.
		Timber or lumber that is treated with a preservative generally have it applied through combined vacuum and pressure treatment.

	Timber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timber is a term used to describe wood, either standing or that has been processed for use—from the time trees are felled, to its end product as a material suitable for industrial use—as structural material for construction or wood pulp for paper production.
		In the U.K. and Australia, "timber" is a term also used for sawed wood products (that is, boards), whereas in the U.S., the product of timber cut into boards is referred to as "lumber".
		Timber framing is a style of construction which uses heavier framing elements than modern stick framing, which uses dimensional lumber.

	Design Pine - Tanalised Clear H3 LOSP Timber Treatment. Pre-Primed and ready to paint. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		LOSP treatment of timber is a highly efficient and successful means of treating and protecting cut timber.
		For certain timber commodities such as finger jointed, laminated or engineered products as well as mouldings and structural timber, treatment with a solvent based preservative may be the most cost effective and efficient means of producing the product.
		Tanalised Clear timber will have either a natural timber appearance (Clear, often with a subtle gold tint that is incorporated in the treatment), or with a factory applied coating of primer, as in the case of Design Pine.

	Remedial Timber Treatment
		On the other hand, specialist timber treatment can remove all severely decayed wood, preserve timber which is to remain in situ, ensure that all replacement timber is preserved and prevent the recurrence of fungal decay and insect attack.
		Brushing or spraying on a wood preservative will not normally achieve total penetration through the timber – better penetration will invariably be achieved on rough-sawn softwood timber with a large amount of sapwood and a low moisture content, but there are many associated factors which can reduce the penetration of wood preservatives.
		Timber can fall foul of insects such as the common furniture beetle and the deathwatch beetle, as well as from fungi such as dry rot and wet rot.

	Cavi-Tie - Damp and Timber Treatment
		Building timbers which become damp and also lack sufficient ventilation are most vulnerable to attack from dry rot.
		This could mean the judicial removal of all affected timber and wall plaster in the vicinity of the inital rot outbreak followed by thorough sanitisation through the use of a concentrated fungicidal solution.
		Treatment of rising damp (known as "damp-proofing" or "dampcoursing") typically involves the installation of a chemical DPC using specialist injection equipment.

	SAF - Policy and Press: Position Statements - Federal Tax Treatment of Timber Investments
		Thus, the landowner bears the risk of physical loss until the timber is harvested and has great interest in the treatment of the trees because the amount of money received is dependent upon the volume of timber harvested and its merchandising.
		The lump-sum sale is an outright sale of the standing timber under a deed in which the buyer takes immediate ownership of the timber and assumes all the risk of loss during the period from the date of the sale to time of harvest.
		This study further demonstrates that timber or land is sold to pay a portion or all of the estate taxes in 40 percent of the forest estate cases where the tax is due.

	Timber treatment
		possible to make conclusive inspections of the timbers of ancient timber-framed buildings because the surrounding or in-filling fabric covers a greater part of their surface.
		Timbers exposed internally have often received a decorative finish that seals them and makes insecticide treatment impossible without removal of the finish.
		Often the timber framework is rendered externally and plastered internally, possibly more recently using sand/cement, which often makes testing with an electrical moisture detection meter inconclusive.

	Least toxic timber treatment
		Conversely, chemical treatment of the pest problem without solving the damp problem will often result in reinfestation of the damp wood once the chemicals have become inactive, or in places where the chemicals were not applied to.
		In discussing potential chemical treatments for timber pest infestation it is important to recognise that each pest may require a specific type of treatment and it is therefore vital that the problem is correctly identified before any treatment is carried out.
		Treatment companies should be able to identify the pest but often don't for various reasons which may include restricted physical access, inexperience, or the assumption that the presence of any pest requires comprehensive chemical treatment.

	Tax Treatment from Timber Sales, F-30
		The amount of gain or loss in a timber sale is determined by reducing the amount received from the sale by the basis of the timber and the timber sale expenses.
		Timber is a capital asset if it is neither used in a trade or business or held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.
		The difference between the allowable basis for the standing timber cut during the taxable year and its fair market value as of the first day of the taxable year in which it was cut may qualify for capital gains treatment.

		Externally exposed timber, timber in contact with wet soil or masonry, or timber subject to a damp atmosphere can all suffer from wet rot.
		Brown rots, resulting in the darkening of timber, cause cracking leaving cube like shapes which crumble, usually smaller than those associated with dry rot, although this cannot be relied upon alone for identification purposes.
		Treatment involves the removal of the dampness and replacement of infected timber that has become structurally unsound together with the application of a fungicide and preservative to the affected areas.

		The treatment plant must take into account these factors to ensure that the chemicals are fully reacted and none of them remain unfixed in or on the surface of the timber.
		The treated timber should not be allowed to leave the treatment plant yard until the CCA is well fixed.
		Timber preservation and plant safety code requires that CCA-treated timber be held on the drip pad for at least 48 hours (this could be longer in cooler climates).

		Treatment vessels may be cylindirical or rectangular in section -- the latter offering economies in the volume of preservative in the working solution tank and moved through the plant during treatment.
		Treatment may also be required along one side of a partition wall (especially where the wall is connected to the floor by fixtures inserted in the slab) and along cracks, expansion joints, and other critical areas.
