Not only does Thompsonized® Wood offer a handsome product for your deck or backyard project, it also relieves you of the time and expense necessary for an initial coating of water repellent. Instead of spending an extra day applying a water repellent to the surface of your deck, you can enjoy the pleasures of your new project immediately. In many instances, once the costs of applying a coating are added in, a Thompsonized® Wood deck is no more expensive than a deck built with cheaper lumber. Plus, you get better looking wood with greater protection. Thompsonized® Wood is an innovation of The Thompson's Company, the experts in waterproofing. It is sold at The Home Depot as part of the Premium CutTM product line. It is available in 5/4" decking, 2x6, 2x4; in lengths from 8' to 16'. (Note: some stores do not stock all sizes.) Because of differences in lumber species and homeowner preferences across North America, some characteristics of Thompsonized® Wood vary from region to region. In all cases, Thompsonized® Wood is top appearance, high grade material that is pressure-treated with preservative and has factory-applied waterproofer.
For most of the country, Thompsonized® Wood is made from southern pine, a group of strong and plentiful species that readily accept preservative. The optimum loading of a unique waterproofer, providing unmatched moisture protection, is forced deep into the wood - the decking is waterproofed to the core™. This product carries a lifetime limited warranty against termite and rot damage, and against failure to meet dimensional stability standards (AWPA E13). You can complement your Thompsonized® Wood deck platform with Thompsonized® Wood railings and deck amenities - spindles, balusters, posts, and ball tops. A deck's railing is usually a more obvious feature than the decking, so get components of equal quality.
