Welcome to the Wood Protection Association – Preserving Confidence in Timber!

Wood is a superb material and the only truly sustainable resource for construction. Plantation grown softwoods from certified sources are most widely used in construction but such timber lacks sufficient natural durability for many situations. However, the correct treatment in conjunction with good design and maintenance will deliver exceptional performance for any application. ( More about wood treatment  )
