What is one of the main benefits of wood preservation treatments?

One of the main benefits of wood preservation treatments is that they significantly increase the lifespan of the wood against pests. These treatments are specifically designed to protect wood from various forms of deterioration, including damage caused by insects such as termites, as well as fungal decay. By penetrating the wood and providing a protective barrier, preservation treatments create an environment that is less conducive to pest infestations and long-term degradation. This not only extends the usability and structural integrity of the wood but also minimizes the need for frequent replacements, saving time and resources in maintenance and construction.

While color change, pliability, and insulation properties can be relevant in other contexts, they do not represent the primary objective or benefit of wood preservation treatments when it comes to protecting against the threats posed by wood-destroying organisms.
