De-icing rock salt is essential for ensuring safety during the winter months, effectively thawing ice and snow on various surfaces like paths, driveways, and roads. Its primary component, sodium chloride, attracts moisture from the air, initiating a melting process by lowering the freezing temperature of water. This action prevents re-freezing and maintains safer, less slippery conditions. It's particularly effective before ice forms, making early morning or evening applications most beneficial. However, its efficacy decreases significantly below -5˚C, with a reduction in melting capability of almost 70%. For environmental considerations, it's worth noting that alternative de-icing methods, such as non-chloride-based deicers like acetates and glycols, offer less corrosive options and are preferred in sensitive areas like airports and bridges.
Ensure the safety of your premises with our de-icing rock salt, the most cost-effective solution for combatting winter's ice and snow. Our rock salt offers a quick response to adverse weather conditions and a reliable method to maintain clear, safe pathways and roads. Ideal for a broad range of applications, it is an indispensable tool for winter weather management. By preemptively applying our rock salt, you can prevent ice formation, making it an efficient strategy for managing snowfall and freezing temperatures.

Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
We have one of the largest ranges of timber lengths, dimensions and grades available to buy online.
The variation you require will determine the exact lead time and delivery method.
