Wood has always been the preferred material for American homes... and for good reason. Wood-frame construction has an unsurpassed record of dependability that goes back for centuries.

Today, people use wood because it is the most economical and environmentally responsible building material available.

Nine out of 10 American homes are built from wood—and wood framing is now increasingly used in commercial and industrial structures.

It’s durable. Wood products last for centuries when protected from moisture. Environmentally friendly preservatives now provide long-term protection under severe conditions.
