Cal Cascade Expands Treatments

California Cascade Industries has expanded the manufacturing capabilities at its Fontana, Ca., facility to produce FirePRO interior fire retardant treated wood. Advance Guard boratetreated wood, and NatureWood pressure treated wood.

FirePRO lumber and plywood is pressure impregnated with FirePRO Interior Type A High Temperature fire retardant chemicals. The products are a new generation, patentpending formulation based on proprietary

Osmose technology.

All SmartGARD products are available in sizes commonly used for frame construction, can be sawed, drilled or routed with standard woodworking equipment and can be fastened with standard nails and screws.

NatureWood is a copper-based preservative with an organic fungicide used around the world in applications where special environmental concerns or restrictions exist.

Treated Wood

Independent testing reportedly confirms that FirePRO products exhibit exceptional fire performance properties such as strength durability, corrosivity and hygroscopicity. In fact, when compared to the untreated wood used in these tests, FirePRO products exhibited superior strength durability, low hygroscopicity and exceptional resistance to fastener corrosion. FirePRO wood is used in code approved applications in commercial, industrial and institutional construction.

Advance Guard lumber and plywood is pressure treated with borates to resist termites and decay fungi. Advance Guard is part of the SmartGARD family of protected building products that are used in framing and sheathing applications.

With facilities in Fontana, Woodland and Sacramento, Ca., Cal Cascade is a leader in the manufacture and distribution of Sunwood pressure treated wood, redwood, cedar and other specialty items.

Opening is Good All-Around
