Construction and Materials
Hoover Treated Wood Products offers a range of specialized wood products designed for enhanced durability and performance. Their primary focus is on treating lumber and plywood to resist decay, insects, and fire.
The core of their product line involves wood treated with various chemical solutions. These treatments are crucial for extending the lifespan of wood used in construction, especially in applications exposed to moisture, ground contact, or increased fire risk.
Materials Used
- Wood Species: Hoover Treated Wood Products utilizes a variety of wood species, including Southern Pine, Douglas Fir, and others, chosen for their structural integrity and suitability for treatment. The specific species used can vary depending on the intended application and the type of treatment applied.
- Preservative Treatments: The company employs advanced pressure-treating processes to impregnate the wood with protective chemicals. These preservatives are designed to penetrate deep into the wood's cellular structure. Common treatments include:
- ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary): A widely used preservative for general-purpose treated wood, offering protection against decay and insects.
- Copper Azole (CA): Another effective copper-based preservative, often used for ground-contact applications and known for its low corrosion potential.
- Borates: Primarily used for indoor applications or as a remedial treatment, borates protect against certain insects and decay.
- Fire Retardants: Specialized treatments are available to impart fire-resistant properties to lumber and plywood, meeting various building code requirements for fire safety.
- Plywood: In addition to lumber, Hoover Treated Wood Products also offers treated plywood. This typically involves the same wood species used for lumber, but in panel form, and subjected to the same pressure-treating processes to enhance its durability and resistance to environmental factors.
Construction and Manufacturing Process
The construction and material enhancement process at Hoover Treated Wood Products centers around pressure treatment. This method ensures that the treatment chemicals are deeply embedded within the wood, providing long-lasting protection.
- Pressure Treatment Process:
- Wood is loaded into large, sealed cylinders.
- Air is removed from the cylinder and the wood cells, creating a vacuum.
- The cylinder is filled with the chosen treatment solution under pressure.
- This pressure forces the preservative deep into the wood fibers.
- After the treatment cycle, any excess solution is removed, and a final vacuum is applied to draw out any remaining liquid.
- Quality Control: Throughout the manufacturing process, rigorous quality control measures are in place to ensure the proper penetration and retention of the treatment chemicals, meeting industry standards and customer specifications.
- Product Applications: The treated lumber and plywood are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Decking
- Fencing
- Structural framing
- Patios
- Outdoor furniture
- Applications requiring fire resistance
