TREAT IT RIGHT. TREAT IT TO LAST...
Due to the inherent characteristics of certain wood species,
they may be defined as "refractory," that is, hard to treat with commonly-used
wood preservative treatments. Therefore, it is essential for the longevity
of the wood that it be treated with the correct treatment for the species
and application. Our knowledgeable and competent sales staff can recommend
the best treatment for the species and job specification.
Our strict quality control program includes well-informed and trained
quality control supervisors, certified gauges, charts and the latest
in treatment equipment. We are members and advocates of the American
Wood Preservers' Association, the agency that sets the standards for
the wood treating industry. If you specify AWPA standards, you can be
assured that our products will meet those standards.
Different Pressure Treating Processes available
from our plants allow you to choose the best preservative to match your
wood protection requirements...
WOLMANIZED ® Heavy
Duty-- (chromated copper arsenate) has been specified
in a wide variety of applications for 70 years. As of December 31,
2003, this wood may be produced only for listed commercial and industrial
uses such as poles, piles, timber, posts or plywood. It is not suitable
for all wood species.
CHEMONITE ® (ACZA)--
(ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate) is the "bulldog" of waterborne preservative
treatments. It can treat almost any species for almost any application,
be it above ground or immersed in salt water. It is an ideal treatment
for Coastal Douglas fir, the primary species of the Northwest. It is
especially appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial uses
where safety and longevity are a major concern. It can be painted or
stained. (See earthquake seismic
code information).

WOOD?
Dricon®
-- fire retardant treated (FRT) wood is an effective and economical
material for reducing the effects of fire. Building code organizations
and other construction-related agencies recognize it as an alternative
to materials classified as noncombustible for a range of applications.

fasteners. It can be stained or painted and is suitable for above
ground or ground contact. (See earthquake
seismic code information).
