The Wood Protection Association and its members champion the use of building with timber – influencing, developing and promoting technologies that enhance its performance and value as a building resource for the future. We do this in two ways: By acting as a technical and advisory body providing guidance to specifiers, contractors, engineers and architects on the best ways to ensure wood is fit for its intended purpose. By actively promoting and developing the technology that enhances the performance and value of sustainable softwood products – mainly through preservation, wood modification or flame retardant treatment.  Visit our website for practical information about the benefits of wood protection technology as well detailed guidance about the different products and processes now available; how to specify them correctly and how to ensure they are fit for purpose. Lists of WPA quality assessed products, treaters and product distributors are a key online feature. For any further information please contact us directly: contact@thewpa.org.uk
