Treated Lumber
Maine Wood Treaters offers treated lumber in a variety of treatments and in a number of sizes.
Product Summary
Construction and Materials
Maine Wood Treaters offers high-quality treated lumber products designed for a variety of applications. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in the materials used and the meticulous construction processes.
The core of Maine Wood Treaters' product line is pressure-treated lumber. This process involves impregnating wood with chemical preservatives under pressure. This method ensures that the preservatives penetrate deep into the wood fibers, providing long-lasting protection against decay, fungi, and insect attack.
Materials Used
- Wood Species: While specific species may vary based on availability and application, Maine Wood Treaters commonly utilizes lumber from sustainably managed forests.
- Preservatives: The company employs proven and effective wood preservative systems. These systems are designed to meet industry standards for performance and environmental responsibility. The exact composition of these preservatives is proprietary but is selected for its efficacy in protecting wood from biological degradation.
Construction Process
The construction of Maine Wood Treaters' lumber involves a sophisticated pressure-treating process. This process typically includes the following stages:
- Loading: Sawn lumber is carefully loaded into a large, sealed cylinder (retort).
- Initial Air/Vacuum: An initial vacuum is often drawn within the cylinder to remove air from the wood cells, preparing them to accept the preservative solution.
- Pressure Application: The cylinder is filled with the chosen preservative solution, and then pressure is applied. This forces the preservative deep into the wood's cellular structure.
- Pressure Release and Final Vacuum: Once the desired retention level of preservative is achieved, the pressure is released, and a final vacuum may be applied to remove excess surface solution and further draw the preservative into the wood.
- Drying and Conditioning: After treatment, the lumber may undergo further drying or conditioning processes to stabilize the wood and prepare it for use.
This pressure-treating method results in lumber that is exceptionally durable and resistant to the elements, making it ideal for outdoor applications such as decks, fences, docks, and structural components that are exposed to moisture and ground contact.

Treated Plywood
Maine Wood Treaters offers treated plywood in a variety of treatments.
Product Summary
Construction and Materials
Maine Wood Treaters offers a range of treated plywood products designed for durability and resistance to decay and insect damage. The construction of this plywood involves the use of high-quality wood veneers bonded together with strong adhesives. The specific wood species used may vary, but the focus is on ensuring structural integrity and a stable product.
The defining characteristic of Maine Wood Treaters' plywood is its advanced pressure treatment process. This process forces chemical preservatives deep into the wood structure, providing long-lasting protection. This treatment makes the plywood suitable for applications where it will be exposed to moisture, ground contact, or potential insect infestation.
Materials used in the construction of Maine Wood Treaters' plywood include:
- Wood Veneers: Carefully selected wood veneers form the core and outer layers of the plywood.
- Adhesives: High-performance adhesives are used to bond the veneers, creating a strong and stable panel.
- Preservative Treatment: A proprietary blend of preservatives is pressure-infused into the wood to protect against fungal decay and wood-boring insects.
The specific types of wood species and the exact formulation of the preservatives are proprietary to Maine Wood Treaters, but the outcome is a product engineered for demanding environments. The pressure treatment process ensures that the preservatives penetrate the entire panel, offering consistent protection throughout.

Features and Benefits
Protection Against Biological Attack
The primary benefit of Maine Wood Treaters' pressure-treated plywood is its unparalleled resistance to biological degradation. This means your investment is protected from the elements and common threats that can compromise the integrity of untreated wood. You can be confident that structures built with our treated plywood will maintain their strength and aesthetic appeal for years to come, reducing the need for premature repairs or replacements.
Superior Moisture Resistance
Designed to withstand damp conditions, our treated plywood is an excellent choice for applications exposed to rain, humidity, or ground contact. The treatment process not only protects against rot but also helps to stabilize the wood, minimizing the effects of moisture absorption and release. This makes it a reliable material for outdoor decks, marine applications like docks, and any construction project where moisture management is critical.
Insect Repellent Properties
Say goodbye to concerns about termites and other wood-boring insects. The preservatives used in our treatment process act as a powerful deterrent, safeguarding the wood from infestation and the structural damage these pests can cause. This feature is particularly important for outdoor structures where insects are a common threat.
Structural Integrity for Demanding Projects
Our pressure-treated plywood is engineered to maintain its structural integrity under stress. Whether used as subflooring in kitchens and bathrooms or as structural components in outdoor decks, you can rely on its strength and stability. This ensures the safety and soundness of your construction projects, providing peace of mind.
