Will BluWood have any negative impact on truss plates, hangers and connectors?
No, industry recognized third party testing was performed for corrosion on metal plates used for structural components. Results were confirmed that this protective coating is non-reactive, and within 2 percent of the results of untreated wood. In addition, major truss plate manufacturers have performed lateral resistance tests and similarly concluded that BluWood lumber has no adverse affects when used with plates, hangers or connectors.
