Appearance
Brimstone ash has a consistent chocolate brown colouring with a strong grain pattern. Decking boards may contain occasional small sound knots.
Weathering
The modification process removes most natural extractives resulting in relatively consistent weathering, largely free of staining. Weathering to a grey colour occurs more quickly than for non-modified timber.
Durability (EN350-2)
Very durable. Class 1
Desired service life
Frequently wet 30 yrs* (This is heavily reliant on good design and installation)
*(Realistic service life as decking more likely to be 15 – 20yrs)
Movement class
Small
Working properties
Brimstone is more brittle than untreated wood. Please take care when
cutting and fixing to prevent splitting. Pre-drilling and countersinking is essential.
Density
563 Kg / Cm3
Extractives
The modification process involves no chemicals and most natural chemicals in the wood are removed during the process. You can treat Brimstone as inert.
