Pastway preserved wood products are pressure treated with NW 100®, a water-soluble wood preservative, Alkaline Copper Quaternary compounds. The main active ingredient in the preservative is copper, which has long been known to be an effective wood preservative. Copper and quaternary compounds together provide a broad spectrum of long-term protection for wood exposed in exterior applications.
Pastway treated wood products are suitable for decks, landscaping, gazebos, fences, patios, walkways, boardwalks and docks.
Properly processed Pastway treated wood products are safe when used as recommended. Pastway treated wood products offer dependable long-term protection against fungal decay and termite attack.
Our quality controls begin well before the actual treating process, with the selection and preparation of material for treatment. Wood must be a treatable species and dried to an appropriate moisture content to be able to accept preservative. For structural components like joists and beams, wood may be perforated with tiny incisions before pressure treatment to ensure uniform penetration of the preservative.
The water-soluble preservatives are injected into the wood in a computer-controlled vacuum/pressure process. Standards for the treating process are based on the most extensive database of treating results on commercially produced preserved wood in Canada. Treating processes are monitored through ongoing testing to maintain high product quality and environmental standards. Treating results are verified in our on-site lab and monitored by a third-party inspection agency.
Pastway Planing preserved wood products are backed by a Timber Specialties Lifetime Limited Residential Warranty.
