&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">These changes apply to wood that is treated with all residential preservative systems.&nbsp;ICC-ES approved changes to its Acceptance Criteria for treated wood and these changes will be effective for all products covered by ICC-ES Reports by July 2016.&nbsp;Regardless of whether the similar revisions to AWPA Standards are finalized, these changes reflect the industry direction and should be followed for all products. &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;"><strong>What do I need to do?</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">These changes ultimately leave decision-making in the hands of builders, consumers and building inspectors to determine if the application requires Ground Contact treated wood.&nbsp;Together, we will need to educate your customers on what material they should stock and how to guide users in selecting the appropriate treated product for their project.&nbsp;The attached flow chart should be a useful tool to help accomplish this.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;"><strong>What does this mean for my warranty?</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">Beginning in July 2016, material must be used as described above to be covered by Arch's consumer warranty.&nbsp;Arch will supply a revised version of our warranty to ensure our warranty language clearly reflects these standards. &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;"><em>Please contact your sales representative or any other member of the Arch team with questions.</em></span></p> <p><span style="color: #59554d;"><em><br /> </em></span></p> <a href="http://everwoodtreatment.com/Portals/everwood/How_To_Properly_Choose_Treated_Wood.pdf" style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: 'PT Sans', arial, sans-serif;">How_To_Properly_Choose_Treated_Wood.pdf</a>1042Clipper Fishing/Golf Tournament 2015https://everwoodtreatment.com/Blog/PostId/27/clipper-fishinggolf-tournament-2015VideosFri, 26 Jun 2015 19:50:50 GMT<span style="font-size: 16px; color: #000000;"><strong>Clipper Fishing/Golf Tournament 2015</strong></span> <div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><br /> </strong></span> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Everwood joins the fun in this annual event!&nbsp;</span></p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ou-MSMffh4A?rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /> </div>27Annual Tuna Trip 2015https://everwoodtreatment.com/Blog/PostId/26/annual-tuna-trip-15VideosFri, 26 Jun 2015 19:40:24 GMT<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Annual Tuna Trip 2015</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 15px; color: #000000;">Everwood takes a weekend to go deep-sea fishing with some of our customers.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QDbs7u_dyrI?rel=0" frameborder="0"></iframe>26
