Wood is the ideal energy-efficient building material.
But this natural resource is not ours for the squandering. The longer it lasts, the more we reduce the stress on our forests. By extending the useful service life of wood, preservative treatments contribute significantly to the maintenance of our precious forest reserves. Without the use of treated wood, the demands of industry might have exhausted our forest resources years ago. But with the use of properly treated wood products, we make one tree in the forest last as long as many untreated trees.
