Impregnated wood —
stronger than concrete, more durable than steel.

Impregnated timber serves for many years.

Impregnation is the process of drawing out, under vacuum, the sap that causes bacterial growth and decay, and forcing preservatives into the timber under pressure. It multiplies the service life of the wood. Penetrating at least 2 cm from every face, the preservative prevents rot and protects the timber against fungi, insects, termites and marine borers. In its projects Ahşapçı uses three kinds of impregnated timber, all treated by the vacuum-pressure system and known in the industry by their colours.

Green Impregnation: Gives the timber a light green tone and has a very wide range of use. Green-impregnated timber is used in parks and gardens in contact with soil and water, in the exterior construction of villas and similar housing, in farm buildings, stables, roofs and greenhouses, on sea jetties, in electricity and telephone poles, bridges, gazebos, sheds, terraces and walkways, in the interior and exterior areas of tourism facilities that come into contact with water, in national parks and recreation areas, in street furniture, in support posts used in vineyards and gardens, and in garden fencing.

Brown Impregnation: Gives the timber a light brown tone. Brown-impregnated timber can be used in all the areas where green-impregnated timber is used. It is also the preferred choice for buildings meant to carry a historic feel or undergoing restoration, and for the interior and exterior decoration of contemporary high-end buildings (villas, pergolas, gazebos and the like).

Natural Impregnation: Natural impregnation is used for door and window frames and for interior timber. It does not change the natural colour of the wood, and the timber serves for many years without paint or maintenance.
