| Preserve® Plus® has the environmentally advanced, arsenic- and chromium-free preservative protection of ACQ®, combined with built-in water repellent protection.
It's suited for outdoor building projects where appearance is important and protection from the effects of weathering is a priority. It has water repellent and preservative protection that is pressure-treated deep to the heart of the wood, unlike brush-on applications that only protect the surface of the wood. Preserve Plus provides long lasting protection against the effects of weathering that lead to cracking, cupping and splitting in your outdoor wood projects. Product Features

Millenium Lumber is extruded into a solid continuous form. This process insures maximum consistency between each piece of finished lumber and eliminates knots, chips or other imperfections. Produced from recycled high density polyethylene, Millenium Lumber combines the characteristics of conventional wood with the durability and stability of plastic.
Millennium has lasting beauty with virtually no maintenance. No need for protective sealants or finishes, it will not split, crack or rot. It is also fade resistant, and is not affected by termites and other insects. The wood grained finish is available in a variety of colors that look clean and new for years to come. All furniture and accessory products are fabricated from Millennium Lumber using all stainless steel screws to assure strength and durability. The color of the lumber is throughout the entire piece and the wood grained texture adds a realistic look to the surface. Millenium Lumber makes an ideal choice for decks, boat docks, railings, fencing, stairs, and landscaping projects. Millenium also comes in a variety of colors and comes in different sizes and shapes. |
