• Colour and preservative protection in one step

• A finished project from the start - no need to
  initially stain

• Proven product performance with the longest lasting
  colourant on the market

• Works in unison with CA environmentally
   advanced preservative

• DesignWood with CA penetrates deep into
  the wood for more protection.

• CA preservative is made from 100%
  recycled copper.

• Commercialized in the United States in 1992, CA
   earned the U.S. Environmental Protection
   Agency’s Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge
   Award. Its widespread use in North America and
   Europe eliminated the use of CCA in residential use.

• CA is CSA approved and has provided
  proven protection in Canada in severe environments

  since 2002.

• CA with DesignWood meets requirements of
  National Building Code of Canada (NBCC).

• Ideal for Decks, Fences, Trellis’, Docks and Playsets

• Lifetime Limited Warranty against termites and
  fungal attack

• We recommend hot-dipped galvanized or
  stainless steel screws that are building code
  approved, corrosion-resistant fasteners and
  connectors suitable for use in treated wood.

• For coastal installations, use code-approved
  stainless steel.

• Light sanding will remove or lighten the grade
  stamp’s appearance.

• Allow treated wood to dry prior to application -
  typically around 60 days after installation. Test
  the wood with a few drops of water to see if the
  wood is dry enough to readily absorb water,
  then test a small portion of the deck.

• Apply a water repellent sealer at least every two
  years to keep your project looking great.

• Butt boards tightly together during installation as
  they will shrink slightly in width and thickness
  as they dry out.

• Pre-drill holes about 3/4” from the edges of
  boards to help prevent splitting.

• Use screws to improve holding performance.

• Install fasteners flush to the wood surface. Do
  not overdrive fastener.

• For ground contact support posts, install the
  un-cut ends in the ground.

• Keep your outdoor living space looking its best
  with the right cleaners and sealers to
  enhance its long-term beauty.

• Liquid detergents, water and a stiff bristle brush
  will remove most mildew and dirt.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s mixing and
  application instructions.

• Never use household chloride bleaches on
  wood as it can cause damage to the wood

  fibers and fasteners.

• Care should be taken if a pressure-washer is
  used for cleaning, as excessive pressure may
  cause damage to the wood.
