Impregnation
Impregnation: What Is It?
Impregnation is a process that involves introducing a preservative agent into the wood to enhance its resistance to external aggressions. This treatment is done by immersing the wood in a specific solution under pressure, allowing the product to penetrate deeply into the wood fibers. This technique is often carried out in autoclaves, machines that use pressure to force preservation agents to evenly penetrate the wood.
The Result? A treated wood that is better resistant to weather, insects, and decay. It is ideal for outdoor applications such as decks, fences, and other wooden structures.

At France Bois Imprégnés, we are experts in wood impregnation and leverage our expertise to ensure wood durability. We have four state-of-the-art autoclave tubes that allow us to treat a wide variety of resinous woods, including pine, to guarantee optimal protection.
We are committed to providing treated wood that meets the highest quality and safety standards. Our modern facilities ensure an efficient and environmentally friendly impregnation process. With our advanced technology, we can adjust the depth and pressure of the treatment according to the specific needs of each project, thereby ensuring maximum protection and increased longevity.
Advantages of Impregnated Wood
Impregnated wood offers numerous benefits that make it ideal for outdoor use:
Longevity
Impregnated wood lasts 5 to 6 times longer than untreated wood. It is more resistant to weathering, reducing the need for replacements and long-term costs.
Sturdiness
The treatment makes the wood less flammable and protects it from insects, fungi and mould, ensuring it remains strong for years.
Safety
Our treatment preserves the strength of the wood, even in damp conditions or with wide temperature variations.
