MicroPro Preserved Timber

What is MicroPro?

MicroPro is a brand name for timber that has been preserved by the correct application of an Osmose MicroPro wood preservative.  Application of the micronized copper preservative is carried out in a controlled treatment process using vacuum pressure impregnation, in accordance with BS 8417. Treated micronized timber is protected against wood rotting fungi and wood destroying insects.

Looks Different, Because It Is Different!

This results in a premium preservative which is ideal for use in residential and commercial environments were aesthetic and environmental standards are paramount.
