Products: Performance Requirements: Decay & Termite Protection

Wood used in outdoor environments and in high moisture conditions, is susceptible to attack from decay fungi and termites that can cause strength reduction and eventual failure of wooden structures. Preserve®, Preserve® Plus® and SupaTimber® pressure treated wood products are ideal for use in a wide range of applications where protection from biological degradation is required.

Termite attack on wooden structures in the United States leads to billions of dollars in damages each year. In recent years, the introduction of the Formosan termite into Hawaii and the southern US has been well documented, and has lead to a significant increase in the degree and rate of termite damage caused to homes and commercial structures.

For interior applications such as wood frame construction and interior sheathing applications, TimberSaver® PT and TimberSaver® 40 provide protection against attack from Formosan termites, decay and wood destroying insects.

The types of projects you can construct using pressure treated wood are limited only by your own imagination.
