The above photo helps illustrate some potential advantages of pressure washing reclaimed and other weathered timbers and lumber. In the upper-right of the photo are some 12" x 12" timbers reclaimed from a California construction project. The timbers in the forefront of the photo are 12" x 12" timbers from the same source which have been pressure washed. Pressure washing can help to:
1. Clean up old timbers and lumber;
2. Bring out nice brown tones in the materials that are pressure washed; and
3. Increase color consistency in a timber/lumber package.
