What We Offer

Three Treatment Services Under One Roof

Service 1

Kiln Drying

Precision drying to 12–15% MC

Our fully automated kiln removes moisture evenly across every piece — no hot spots, no uneven drying. Timber comes out dimensionally stable and ready for cutting, machining, or installation. Critical for Negombo's humid coastal climate where air-dried timber rarely reaches stable moisture levels.

  • Target: 12–15% moisture content across all species
  • Suitable for construction, furniture, doors, windows, and export
  • 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

Surface sprays and dips don't penetrate timber — they protect only the outer few millimetres. Our VPI process drives 5% Boron Borax preservative deep into the wood core at 10 bar (145 PSI), providing protection that holds even after cutting and machining. Backed by a 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
Service 3

ISPM 15 Heat Treatment

IPPC registered export compliance

All wooden packaging, crates, and dunnage used in international trade must be ISPM 15 certified. Without it, shipments can be held, fumigated at the exporter's cost, or rejected at the destination port. We are IPPC registered with the National Plant Quarantine Service of Sri Lanka and issue the required IPPC mark on every certified load — critical for Negombo's active export community.

  • IPPC registered — compliant with international phytosanitary standards
  • Core heated to 56°C for a minimum of 30 minutes
  • Accepted in 180+ countries for international export
  • Treatment certificate issued per shipment
