What is ProWood® Micro Treated Lumber?
ProWood Micro is Universal’s next generation of pressure-treated lumber. Like our other preserved wood products, ProWood Micro is pressure treated to protect against termite attack and decay. But with ProWood Micro, 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 preservative is forced under high pressure into the cellular structure of the wood.
Safe for You and the Environment
ProWood Micro treated lumber is clean, odorless, non-staining and non-irritating to humans, animals and plants. 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.
