Allweather Wood Offers Unparalleled Selection of Preservative Treated Lumber
Largest waterborne preservative treated lumber manufacturer in the Western U.S.
Santa Rosa, CA (March 26, 2019) – As the largest waterborne preservative treated lumber manufacturer in the Western U.S., Allweather Wood knows a thing or two about long-lasting building materials.
“Allweather Wood began operating in 1985 with our first preservative treated lumber facility in Washougal, Washington”, says Blair Buchanan, Executive VP. “Since then, we have grown to five preservative treatment locations and three distribution centers across four states.”
For architects, builders, contractors, and developers in today’s challenging building environment, selecting the best possible building materials for the job is imperative. No matter the project or location, the natural elements are of particular concern.
“As we’ve seen over the past few years, the Western U.S. faces everything from high fire danger to severe drought to catastrophic flooding―sometimes all in the same 12-month period. It is unpredictable to say the least,” adds Buchanan.
This unpredictability is the reason Allweather Wood continually seeks out and brings to market the best new products to meet customer needs. Offering an unparalleled selection of preservative treated lumber and plywood products, Allweather Wood is ready for whatever nature brings. Wood species treated include Douglas-fir, Hem fir, and Southern Yellow Pine.
Above Ground
Allweather Wood has the right preservative lumber products for above ground building applications, including appearance grade decking, fencing, dimensional, substructure- and framing members, timbers, and more.
Ground Contact
Soil, moisture, insects, and corrosive minerals are an ever-present challenge for ground contact building applications. Allweather Wood manufactures preservative treated lumber and plywood for many ground contact applications, including structural timbers and dimensional lumber that dig deep for long-lasting performance.
Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW)
Even when sprinklers are mandatory, the use of FRTW can further increase safety and reduce fire insurance rates. D-Blaze® lumber and plywood from Allweather Wood are preservative treated deep into the wood, unlike the superficial protection offered by coatings. D-Blaze® products are available in a variety of species and dimensions to meet the specifications necessary for building codes in the Western U.S. D-Blaze® also carries an industry best 50-year limited warranty.
Industrial
Whether it’s a structural ground contact project, freshwater pier, or saltwater project, Allweather Wood has the right preservative, and product to meet the building code specifications and requirements needed for industrial applications.
Many of the preservatives used in the Allweather Wood preservative process have achieved green building recognition, while maintaining superior performance in a wide variety of applications. Allweather Wood maintains Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C013133) chain-of-custody certification for our manufacturing and distribution facilities. FSC certification enables consumers to make environmentally responsible choices when purchasing wood from retail lumber yards and home improvement centers.
