HomePreservative Treatment>Characteristics of our treated wood

Treated wood that lasts 3 to 5 times longer than untreated wood

Both wood outdoors that is exposed to rain and wood that is used indoors that is not properly treated will start to decade or receive termite damage earlier than that which is treated. Early wood damage occurs because it becomes a source of nutrition for wood-destroying fungi and termites. Wood that comes in contact with soil, is exposed to rain, or is in a particularly humid place, is vulnerable to damage. In order to keep wood long-lasting and free from damage by wood-decade fungi and termites, preservation treatment is necessary.

Wood contributes to energy conservation

Trees grow by absorbing water, CO2 and the energy from the sun. And, trees are the foremost resource contributing to reductions in energy use considering that the total amount of CO2 produced when processing trees into lumbar is far lower than the total amount of CO2 used to produce concrete or steel. Also, forests continuously absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during their process of growth, wherein CO2 solidifies inside the trees and is retained. Using renewable forests at as many locations as possible promotes the absorption of CO2, thus contributing to the preservation of the environment.
