The Northern Virginia wholesale lumber suppliers at Curtis Lumber & Plywood recently released a blog answering the question, "what is rot resistant wood?". This type of wood can be beneficial in a number of projects, making it a valuable resource for contractors and homeowners.

Rot resistant wood typically refers to lumber or plywood that has been treated with chemicals to help it withstand moisture and rot, though some varieties of wood are naturally rot resistant. It can be used in place of untreated wood in almost any construction project, but it is particularly popular for decks, fences, and landscaping applications, as these projects are typically subjected to weather and the elements more than others. Rot resistant wood provides an affordable way to safeguard your projects and ensure that they remain in good condition for years to come.

Micro-Guard Treated Lumber & Plywood is a pressure-treated wood that protects against corrosion, termites, and fungal decay. The wood is kiln dried after treatment to ensure that it remains at workable moisture levels while continuing to resist corrosion. This protects the lumber from warping or buckling over time. Micro-Guard treated products are also significantly lighter in color than other copper treated woods, providing an appealing color for those seeking wood with a more natural appearance.
