H3 Treated Pine

Trusses made from pine wood that has been treated with chemicals have several advantages over untreated wood trusses.

The preservatives used in the treatment process make the wood resistant to decay, termites, and other pests, which can significantly extend the lifespan of the trusses.

This is especially important in areas with high humidity or where pests are prevalent, as untreated wood can quickly deteriorate and become a safety hazard. Treated pine wood trusses are also less likely to warp or split, which helps to maintain their structural integrity over time.

Furthermore, the treatment process does not affect the strength or performance of the wood, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for roof support.
