TREATED SILL / SOLE PLATE

TREATED SILL / SOLE PLATE: 
The sill plate is the framing member which sits directly on the foundation, slab, or footing. Other names may be base-plate, mudsill, sole-plate, etc. In newer construction this plate is bolted to the foundation. Many older buildings have sill plates which are not bolted to the foundation. Since this was an acceptable building technique at the time, the inspector will not necessarily mention whether or not the sill plate are bolted down. Pressure-treated sill-plate means that the sill plate has been chemically treated to resist wood boring insects, biological decay, fungi, etc. The chemical is forced into the wood under high pressure to ensure complete saturation, making this type of lumber suitable for direct burial, contact with concrete, and many other uses where ordinary wood would be rapidly rotted.
