Timber Pro UV — A Company With Vision
How We Pioneered Eco-Friendly Wood Finish Technology
Twenty two years ago we had a vision: To bring a truly unique exterior wood finish to the market that was not only more durable than traditional wood stains but also one that was environmentally safe.
Prior to 1996, we were a group of custom builders and wood treating professionals with some very high-end projects to build and maintain. Some of our customers were chemically sensitive, and most of the wood sided homes were being built in extreme weather locations inherent to the great Pacific Northwest such as ski resort areas, ocean front properties, and the high desert.
Unable to find a stain product that met our needs, we decided out of necessity to develop one. We enlisted the services of some of the best independent wood finish formulators in North America and told them to spare no expense for the sake of quality. We combined our knowledge of wood, building, and design, with their coating chemistry knowledge and together we created a truly unique wood stain protectant.
Timber Pro Coatings first opened its doors in 1996 in the great Pacific Northwest. Two independently owned manufacturing facilities were set up in Portland, Oregon and Richmond BC, Canada. In these first few years we envisioned ourselves as a “wood stain microbrewery,” handcrafting a specialty wood finish that was quite unique for those times, when environmentally friendly coatings were few and far between.
