What We Offer

Three Treatment Services Under One Roof

Service 1

Kiln Drying

Precision drying to 12–15% MC

The south coast's boutique hotels, villas, and restoration projects use timber heavily — exposed beams, decking, doors, and bespoke furniture. In Galle's coastal humidity, air-dried timber never reaches a stable interior moisture content. Our automated kilns deliver a verified 12–15% MC, so joinery and furniture stay flat and tight after installation.

  • Target: 12–15% moisture content across all species
  • Teak, mahogany, jak, kumbuk, imported hardwoods, and more
  • Drying time: 3–12 days depending on species and thickness
  • Calibrated meters verify moisture at multiple points per batch
Service 2

Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI)

Full-core Boron Borax protection

Salt air, monsoon exposure, and year-round humidity make the south coast one of the toughest environments in Sri Lanka for timber. Surface treatments fail at every cut and fixing hole. Our VPI process drives 5% Boron Borax preservative to the core at 10 bar (145 PSI) — the specification serious villa and hotel projects use for structural and exposed timber. 10-year warranty against pest contamination.

  • 10 bar (145 PSI) pressure drives preservative to the wood core
  • Protects against termites, borers, and fungal decay
  • 10-year warranty against pest contamination
  • Safe, non-toxic — no heavy metals, arsenic, or solvents

  • Treatment certificate issued per shipment

Common Questions from Galle Customers

Do you deliver treated timber to Galle?

Yes. We deliver island-wide, and the Southern Expressway makes Galle one of the easier long-distance deliveries — treated timber loaded in the morning is on site the same day. We regularly deliver to Galle, Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Ambalangoda, Weligama, and Matara.

Can you treat timber for a villa or hotel project?

Yes. We work with contractors, architects, and project managers on south coast builds — treating structural timber, roof timber, decking, and joinery stock to specification, with per-batch moisture and treatment records your QS or architect can file.

Why does south coast timber need VPI rather than surface treatment?

Coastal humidity keeps decay fungi active all year, and every cut, notch, and bolt hole made during construction breaks through a surface treatment's protective shell. VPI-treated timber is protected through its cross-section, so site cutting does not expose vulnerable wood. For exposed or structural coastal timber, it is the only specification that holds up.
