ProWood Micro
ProWood® Micro CA is Universal’s next generation of pressure-treated lumber. Like our other preserved wood products, ProWood Micro CA is pressure treated to protect against termite attack and decay. But with ProWood Micro CA, the copper is micronized, which lessens the corrosion of fasteners—so there's no need for expensive fasteners. Like all of our treated lumber, it can withstand harsh weather conditions and is effective for decades.
The Treatment Process
Enclosed in a pressurized cylinder, the ProWood Micro CA preservative is forced under high pressure into the cellular structure of the wood. To learn more about the process for treating ProWood Micro, visit our treatment process page.
Safe for You and the Environment
ProWood Micro treated lumber is clean, odorless, non-staining and non-irritating to humans, animals and plants. The process used to treat ProWood Micro CA is the first to gain Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) status as certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Scientific Certification Systems is a third-party certification services and standards development company. ProWood Micro has earned NAHB's Green Approved Product certification. ProWood Micro has also been awarded the GREENGUARD Children & Schools Certification. Universal's lumber comes from plentiful, fast-growing trees grown on managed forestland. It’s estimated that pressure-treated lumber conserves millions of trees per year.
