Painted vs Treated vs Untreated Garden building

Unprocessed wood becomes greyish after having been left untouched for a while, and can be turn blue or become mouldy. Treating wood with a preservative protects against wood-destroying fungi and insects, including termites. Our product treatment services save you days of work and ensure high quality treatment.

Palmako offers 4 types of treatments depending on the product type:

• factory painted,
• dip treated,
• pressure treated,
• ground painted.

1 - Factory Painted Cabins (Available with selected garden rooms)

We have made significant investments into modern painting robots that enable us to paint complex products like log cabins precisely, in a controlled environment. This enables us to provide painting quality, that would be very difficult to match when painting post-assembly.

Why Choose Factory Painted?

• Time and Cost Efficient: Painting is a laborious and costly task. Our pre-painted buildings bypass the need for you to undertake this effort.
• Longer Lifespan: Factory painted buildings have a longer lifespan than those painted post-assembly because our buildings are painted under controlled conditions ensuring a dry and optimal setting for paint application.
• Immediate Protection: From the moment of installation, your building is protected against moisture, which is crucial in the unpredictable British weather.
• Uniform Comprehensive Coverage: Achieves an even coat impossible to replicate with manual painting.

Color Options:

• Light Grey - Main color: RAL7042; Accent: RAL7016.

What is painted:

• Exterinal Walls: Pre-painted with a durable finish.
• All Sides of Log Ends Painted: Ensures uniform appearance even as the wood dries, preventing unpainted areas from showing.
• Fully Painted Fascia Boards and Slats: All sides are coated in a stylish RAL7016 to complement any garden setting.
• Canopy walls: painted on both sides.

What is not painted:

• Internal walls, leaving you the choice to finish the interior the way you desire.
• Foundation beams.
• Floor boards.
• Roof boards.
• Rafters.

2 - Dip Treated (Most Garden Rooms, Log Cabins)

As we have our own treatment baths for dip treatment. Cabinscan be ordered treated with Axil 3000 P by the Sarpap & Cecil Industries - a water-soluble treatment liquid, guaranteeing treatment within classes 1-3.

Dipped wood must be finished with at least two layers of topcoat. Topcoat should be applied on the dipped product as soon as possible. In case the dipped cabin is left unfinished for over six months, the wood protective properties of the dipping liquid will start decreasing.

3 - Pressure-treated (Available with selection of sheds and greenhouses)

The preservative penetrates deep into the wood with the help of vacuum and pressure. In this case a vacuum is initially generated in the cell cavities thereby evacuating the air inside them. The cavities are then filled with a preservative solution that is forced into the wood under high pressure

In order to extend the service life of timber we treat our products with Impralit®-KDS wood preservative. This is a water-borne, chromium-free wood preservative for the prevention of insect attacks, soft rot and fungal decay. It also offers temporary protection against blue stain and mould. Impralit®-KDS is only to be used for treating wood according to the requirements of use classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 as stipulated in EN 335-1

4 - Prime Painted Products: Available With Selected Gazebos and Carports

We have invested into modern painting technology that enables us to paint using flowcoating method and spray chamber method. After painting, the products will dry in a 30 meter long drying chamber, where the whole process of drying can be adjusted and observed. Prime painted product should be finished with at least two layers of topcoat.

You will find available treatment options next to each product under Treatment section.
