Big Green: Re: ACQ Preserve

[Tristan Roberts]

For subscribers to EBN, current and upcoming treated wood options  
were covered thoroughly in a recent article:

http://www.buildinggreen.com/articles/IssueTOC.cfm?Volume=15&Issue=8

The following, more recent EBN article on TimberSIL, is currently  
freely available:

There are no easy answers here, but in general, it makes sense to  
look at the issue application by application for what is most  
appropriate. TimberSIL is an intriguing product, if you can get it  
(ask), the fixed-borate product ES+Wood may also be an option for  
your application.
