Timeless Sustainability in the Parade of Homes
Asheville, NC — JAG Construction sources native grown hardwoods for high-performance sustainable living.
JAG Construction, best known for concepting and building premiere green homes in North Carolina, completed this signature residence for the Asheville Home Builders Association “Parade of Homes.” The project features two levels of outdoor decking and skirting, with the lower level surrounding a luxurious swimming pool area.
A Natural Alternative to Composites
Tim Nylander, Project Manager at JAG Construction, noted the importance of sourcing domestic hardwoods that could withstand the elements. "We wanted something native grown to help complete the story of green living. Americana™ offers a good price point competitive to composite materials, but with the authentic feel of real wood."
Unlike composites or imported species like Ipe, Americana™ Thermally Modified Ash is easy to work with and eliminates concerns regarding problematic dust. Its stability and resistance to the elements made it the perfect fit for this award-winning project.
