Is pressure-treated suitable as bottom sill against slab?

The house cat. Maybe it's time to call Anticimex?...the people I talked to there were very clear that it's inappropriate

All the carpenters I've talked to say that you absolutely shouldn't use treated base plates. You should never build with treated studs. If a little moisture gets in them, they might start to smell. Besides, the base plates should be dry, and then the wood shouldn't rot even if it's white.

As mentioned, there are different views. We feel very confident with our syll.

I have talked a bit with moisture companies.... No pressure-treated wood in the sill due to the smell.... Then one should know that even if you put paper or rubber underneath, there will always be holes in it when you angle the nails.... If you stick to the right dimension of the nail, that is... 4"..

In the past, stakes in wooden fences were charred. Could charring be a viable alternative?

No problems with the pressed syll. However, it should obviously not have direct contact with concrete or any other material that can lead moisture to it.

bringing up an old thread, what's the latest?

I had a sill that was 125*125, it's crumbled and gone, old damage no moisture, house from 1929(at least)
what should I replace it with? pressure-treated timber (http://www.cheapy.se/webapp/wcs/sto..._46_11746_13085_37275_ProductDisplayErrorView) available for immediate pickup.

or http://www.beijerbygg.se/store/privat/träprodukter/virke/sågat/sparre-bjälke-125x125mm
special order.
or could you glue together 3 pieces of 120*45 and use that?

should maybe mention that I don't have a concrete slab but more of a stone foundation where the sill should rest.
