The WPA is a technical and advisory organisation dedicated to improving the
performance of wood as the sustainable construction material of choice.
Most timber used in the UK is a plantation-grown softwood; these lack sufficient
natural durablility for many construction applications. However, with correct
treatment, they will deliver the required service in any application - indoors
and out.
