Why choose arlcoal.com for treated plywood?
Treated plywood is an engineered wood product that has been chemically preserved to protect it from rot, insect infestation, and fungal growth. The plywood itself consists of thin layers, or veneers, of wood that are glued together with the grain of each layer oriented at a right angle to the one below it for added strength and stability. The "treatment" involves a process called pressure-treating, which forces a preservative solution—such as alkaline copper quat (ACQ) or copper azole (CA) - deep into the wood fibers under high pressure. This makes the wood resistant to the elements and pests, significantly extending its lifespan compared to untreated plywood:
- It's ideal for projects exposed to the elements because it resists rot, decay, and fungal growth.
- The chemical preservatives are toxic to termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects, protecting your structure from damage.
- By preventing decay, it maintains its strength and structural integrity over many years, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
- It can be used in a wide range of applications, from framing and sheathing to decks and landscaping projects.
Ideal
projects for treated plywood:
- Outdoor Sheathing: Using treated plywood for exterior walls provides a durable and moisture-resistant barrier for a home or building.
- Subflooring for Decks and Porches: It can be used as a solid and stable base for outdoor decking, ensuring the foundation is protected from moisture damage.
- Sheds and Outbuildings: Treated plywood is excellent for building the walls, floors, and roofs of outdoor sheds, barns, and other outbuildings, helping them last for decades.
- Landscaping and Garden Beds: Its resistance to rot makes it perfect for creating raised garden beds, planter boxes, and retaining walls where it will be in direct contact with soil and water.
- Marine and Waterfront Construction: For docks, piers, and boat lift platforms, treated plywood is essential to withstand constant exposure to water.
