FAQs

Can I use these indoors?

While technically possible, these are designed for exterior use and may carry a slight chemical odor from the pressure treatment.

Do I need to treat the wood after cutting?

It is highly recommended to apply a wood preservative to any cut ends to maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment.

Can I paint this timber?

Yes, once the timber has fully dried, it can be painted or stained using exterior-grade wood coatings.

What type of fixings should I use?

Use galvanized or stainless steel screws and nails to prevent corrosion caused by the treatment chemicals.

How many battens are in a pack?

This pack contains 10 individual battens.

Troubleshooting

Timber showing slight warping or bowing

Secure the batten firmly at regular intervals with screws to force alignment during installation.

Surface feels damp upon delivery

This is normal due to the pressure-treatment process; allow the timber to air-dry in a shaded, ventilated area for a few days before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and moisture due to professional pressure treatment
  • Lightweight and easy to handle for individual DIY projects
  • Pre-treated, saving time on applying separate wood preservatives
  • Uniform dimensions ensure consistent results when framing

Cons

  • Not suitable for load-bearing structural floors
  • Surface may have a greenish tint due to the pressure-treatment process
  • Dimensions may vary slightly due to the natural properties of timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When working with Snowdon Timber, prioritize safety by wearing gloves to prevent splinters and a mask when cutting to avoid inhaling sawdust. For installation, use exterior-grade screws or nails to prevent rust-induced structural failure. To ensure long-lasting performance, store the battens in a dry, well-ventilated area until use to prevent warping. If you intend to paint or stain the wood for aesthetic reasons, wait until the timber is completely dry after installation, as the moisture content from the pressure-treatment process can vary upon purchase.
