All
timber frames manufactured at MCM Frame & Truss are manufactured
to the Australian Standards. We can also customise your frames to
your specifications such as bigger timber sizes or smaller spacings.
MCM Frame & Truss manufacture frames in Pine, CCA Treated Pine,
H2 or H3 Treated Pine.
The use of Australian Pine is widely the most popular timber in frames. The timber has been Kiln dried and sized to give a uniform product that will not shrink or warp and can be used in most situations. CCA Treated pine has been treated with copper chrome arsenate. The treatment stops fungi and other timber pests and diseases from attacking and is used where there is a known problem with subterranean pests.
LOSP (Light
Organic Solvent Preservatives) is another treatment that deters
the pests and diseases. The major advantages of LOSP treatment
lie in the fact that the dimensional stability of the timber is
unaltered, so that all manufacturing processes can be carried
out before treatment, eliminating the need to dispose of treated
waste materials. There is also the fact that the timber can be
used as soon as the solvent used in the treatment process has
evaporated, with no need for post treatment drying. The relatively
small cost of treating the frame gives the home owner the confidence
of knowing that their home has protection from attack by wood
destroying insects and decay. |
