ARCH WOOD PROTECTION
Warranty Update
With Madison Wood you are already one step ahead!
Arch Wood Protection has revised the Wolmanized® Wood consumer warranty. The revision was made primarily to clarify what is proper use of Wolmanized® Wood for warranty coverage. Material must be used in accordance with the new industry standards to be covered under Arch’s warranty.
The revised warranty will apply to all wood that is purchased by a homeowner (or builder) after July 1, 2016 regardless of when it was treated. The old warranty will continue to cover material that was purchased prior to July 1, 2016. The new version of our consumer warranty is available below. Please be sure to send it to your customers.
