AWT – Your State-of-the-Art Source for High Quality,
Treated Wood
Built in 1987, the Anthony Wood Treating (AWT) plant is
one of the most modern facilities of its kind in the
world. The central focus of the plant is the Woodtec treating
cylinder. The huge, 84-foot, double-doored cylinder can
annually treat over 100 million feet of lumber or
timbers of any size or length. Since the AWT facility and its equipment were designed
with the latest technology and stringent Environmental
Protection Agency guidelines in mind, the plant should
be able to treat wood for many years without
interruption.
A Virtual “Lifetime Guarantee”
Unlike other treating plants that use creosote or penta
as a treating agent, AWT produces high quality Micronized Copper Azole (MCA)
pressure-treated wood. MCA is a superior, water-borne
chemical that, once introduced into the wood, resists
leaching and provides a longer lasting product.
Wood treated with MCA should also resist natural and
insect decay indefinitely – two more reasons MCA-treated
lumber carries a virtual “Lifetime Guarantee”.
Every piece of wood treated by AWT is done so in
accordance with standards established by the National Evaluation Report (NER), under the
supervision of Timber Products Inspection (TPI) and
core-sampled to ensure proper chemical retention. MCA is the first wood preservative to
be EPP (Environmentally Preferred Product) certified by the Scientific Certification Systems.
In an effort to employ the most advanced treating technology available in the industry, AWT's
use of MCA reduces energy use, causes the copper used in the treating process to become biologically
inactive when coming in contact with the soil, thus causing no eco-toxin or other environmental impacts
and largely eliminates copper releases into aquatic and terrestrial environments when compared to
standard treated wood products.
A Wide Variety of Treated Wood Products
Being located in the heart of some of the highest
quality timber in the world, AWT is surrounded by wood
suppliers – including several nearby mills managed by
Anthony Timberlands, Inc. Because of this, AWT is able to offer a wide variety of
products to fit your treated wood needs. Whether you need standard dimension lumber, 4/4 boards,
radius-edged decking, fencing, siding, landscape or
other sizes of timbers, we can take care of you. Plus,
AWT will provide wood treating services (TSO) for any
customers who have their own “white” wood in need of
treatment.
Superior Customer Service
Since our plant property has over 11 million board feet
of dry storage space, we maintain a substantial
inventory of treated wood for the convenience of our
customers. And, when supplies get tight, AWT’s sister
companies can reach all the way back to the forest to
quickly supply your needs.
