Description
VTX Pigmented (Brown) and VTX Zero (Clear) are preservative treatments commonly applied to European Redwood (Scots Pine).
The treatment offers a 30 year warranty against rot, and fungal decay when installed as a cladding board out of direct ground contact.
VTX Pigmented contains brown pigments and dyes within the preservative treatment (not a coating) which will offer an element of colour stability to your timber cladding, slowing the weather process.
VTX Zero does not contain any additional pigments, for those that want their timber to weather to a natural silver/ grey upon exposure to UV light.
- PEFC certified timber
- 30 year warranty
- Low Maintenance
