About Us

“I found the Holy Grail of the treating industry.”

Those were the words of NexGen's founder when he heard about this incredible product that had solved the age-old issue of long-term viability of protecting wood products in a simple, eco-friendly and cost effective way.
​
And he was never more right in his life.

Since that time NexGen has taken the challenge of introducing this life saving and industry changing product to a relatively large market (ie the world).

There have been setbacks and victories, humbling moments and times of celebration. NexGen introduced this building product to the world at a time when the world stopped building.  But we persevered, not because we’re better at selling than the competition, but because this product simply has no competition.

NexGen is our passion and our vision for the future. 

​Our History:

In October of 2003, New Wood Solutions of Vancouver, Canada, was formed for the sole purpose of developing advanced wood protection products to ensure that this growing market was properly represented within the wood construction industry.

After a number of years developing such products with a great deal of success, the focus of the company is our new NexGen products, the Next Generation of Wood Protection.

Simply put, NexGen is such an important product that anything less than our full attention would be unjust.  After all, it is the best wood protection product the market has ever seen, it can be custom tinted, and it costs substantially less than traditional wood protection products.

Who wouldn’t prefer all of that?

Now as the manufacturer of NexGen Original, NexGen FlameShield and the top-of-the-line NexGen ADVANCED, NexGen's unique wood coatings have moved into the industry forefront with its unparalleled ability to protect both interior and exterior wood products from mould, rot, all wood-boring insects, and fire.

NexGen is a Canadian corporation with a management team that has more than 60 years of history in the lumber, pressure treating, and chemical industries in Canada.

To all our friends in the industry, we wish to acknowledge that there have been a lot of changes in the focus of our business over the past years.  In that time, some things have never wavered, including our passion for, and our belief in, our products, and our commitment to you.

NexGen is providing all of us with the opportunity to rededicate ourselves to bringing life-saving products into as many homes, offices and commercial properties as possible.

Thank you.

This video (left) was taken at a test sponsored by the UK Timber Frame Association.  As you can see, after all the flammable accelerants are burned away, the NexGen ADVANCED barrier stops the flames from getting into the wood beams and OSB panels.  What is most exciting is that the flame did not spread at all into the second story. 

​If this were a real-world event, the dwellings above, below, and beside the test dwelling would have been undamaged.
