The consumer lumber industry thrives as North American homeowners undertake renovation and expansion projects. The retail marketplace values the standards of quality that Stella-Jones brings to treated wood.

Pressure treated wood is a cost-effective, durable and aesthetically pleasing choice for many exterior home renovation projects, such as patios, decks and fences. The treating process protects the wood from fungus, insects and bacteria, and can extend its productive service life by five to ten times.

Stella-Jones has established a strong supplier relationship with major lumber retail chains in Canada. The Company supplies these retail outlets with pressure treated wood board, lattice, fence board, plywood and dimensional lumber for use in outdoor applications. In addition, Stella-Jones has developed a strategic alliance with a major lumber wholesaler, which provides the Company substantial expertise in the dimensional lumber market.
