In the world of outdoor projects, nothing beats the combination of durability and curb appeal. Whether you’re building a deck, pergola, or fence, you’re not just aiming for strength—you want it to look good, too. And with ProWood® Color-Treated lumber, you don’t have to choose between the two.
It’s more than pressure-treated wood—it’s pressure-treated and color-infused, delivering long-lasting protection with rich, fade-resistant tones that look great from the start. No waiting for the lumber to dry. No coming back to stain. Just build and move on.
Why Pros Are Choosing Color-Treated Lumber
Traditional treated lumber offers durability, but it usually needs a few weeks to dry before stain or paint can be applied—a timeline that can delay completion, add labor costs, and increase callbacks. Color-treated lumber skips all of that. ProWood Color-Treated lumber arrives with a deep, woodtone color already infused into the board, eliminating the need for staining while keeping your project on schedule.
- Time-Saving: Skip the dry time, staining step, and second trip to the job site.
- Instant Curb Appeal: Natural woodtone pigments deliver a stained look from day one.
- Less Maintenance: Rich, consistent color lasts longer with fewer touchups.
The Technology Behind the Color
ProWood Color-Treated lumber is pressure-treated with a preservative system to ensure superior durability and infused with woodtone pigment to lock in color for long-term performance.
This results in lumber that resists both environmental wear and aesthetic fading, backed by ProWood’s limited lifetime warranty and a color assurance warranty:
- 5-Year No-Fade on Vertical Surfaces
- 2-Year No-Fade on Horizontal Surfaces
Where To Use It
ProWood Color-Treated lumber is made for the outdoor environment and built to handle the elements.
- Decks, Railings, and Stairs
- Fences, Pergolas, and More
- Above Ground and Ground Contact Use
And while the color is built in, it’s also paintable and stainable if your design calls for a custom touch. It works with a wide range of fasteners, too, including galvanized, hot-dip zinc, and aluminum hardware.
Available Colors
Depending on your region, ProWood Color-Treated lumber comes in three rich tones:
- Cedar-Tone
- Redwood-Tone
- Walnut-Tone
These aren’t just surface treatments—they’re deep, earthy colors that enhance the natural grain and give your project a professional, finished look from day one.
