Thermally Superior
Heat treating wood is a process dating back to the Vikings. Nordic innovators have refined and developed these practices into what's know as thermally modified wood. A sustainable, dimensionally stable, hydrophobic, rot resistant wood without the use of carcinogenic chemicals.
Rotten Wood
Western Red Cedar, a staple in North American for it's rot resistant properties is not what it once was. Sustainable forest practices have replaced old growth cedar with juvenile / under developed cedar. With a much higher sapwood content and immature extractives Cedar is now prone to checking, twisting, cupping and rotting.
Petro Chemicals
Composite (plastic) decking is our generations vinyl siding. It's a low maintenance / durable product that is toxic, unsustainable and non-recyclable. It's prone to warping, buckling and burning your feet in the sun. Buyer beware.
Chemical Treatment
Pressure treated lumber has been around for ages, creosote, cca, acq. While the chemicals used to treat lumber are allegedly less toxic the lumber is also far less durable. 10+ years and you deck is an haven of splinters and spongy boards.
Thermally Modified
Sustainably harvested wood products are placed in a thermokiln where the woods moisture is reduced to 0% over 35-46 hours. The temperature then peaks to 419 degrees removing sugars and resigns which serve as food sources for mold and insects. The final product is a sustainable, dimensionally stable, hydrophobic, rot resistant wood product.
