Pressure treated wood products are diverse and used in a variety of residential and non-residential applications that are critical to our overall infrastructure, transportation, and commercial needs.
From your home’s foundation, to the transportation of goods/passengers, to the delivery of electricity – pressure treated wood products are reliable because they last.
Prolonging the service life of wood products is a sustainable solution that is both economical and ecological.
Every year the use of pressure treated wood saves a forest area the size of Prince Edward Island.

Pressure treatment is a process that is used to preserve wood. Wood is placed inside a closed cylinder and pressure is applied, which forces the preservatives into the wood cells. The end result is a more durable and lasting product.
Pressure treated wood may be used indoors for applications where protection against termites and fungal decay is needed. Pressure treated wood should not be used for indoor applications where it can come into contact with drinking water or food, such as countertops or cutting boards. Follow safety practices when working with wood products – cleanup and dispose of sawdust and construction debris after construction.
Wood is a valuable commodity and using preservatives helps to protect wood from fungal decay and termites, which extends its service life.
