ACQ Treated Wood
Goodfellow Terra®

A sustainable, natural and modern choice for your outdoor design

Since 2004, wood treated with quaternary alkaline copper (ACQ), azole copper (CA-B) or micronized copper azole (MCA) has replaced the old CCA-treated wood, which is now prohibited for residential projects. These new treatments, which are significantly less toxic, offer excellent protection against rot, insects and fungi, while being more environmentally friendly.

A modern, safe and sustainable solution

Used in residential, commercial and recreational projects, ACQ treated wood represents the perfect balance between performance, aesthetics and ecological responsibility. It is known for its robustness, durability and compatibility with all types of outdoor landscaping, whether it is a deck, a fence, a patio or even a dock.
