Custom Applications

Unleash Your Creativity

While our thermally modified wood is renowned for its versatility in decking, siding, and porch flooring, its potential extends far beyond these traditional uses. Elevate your projects to new heights by incorporating Americana™ into custom applications such as accent walls, fences, and even park benches. With Americana™, you no longer need to settle for manmade imitations or plasticized textures—every board is as unique as a fingerprint.

  • Endless Opportunities: Ideal for accentuating indoor spaces or defining outdoor boundaries with sleek, sustainable fencing.
  • Authentic Hardwood: 100% real thermally modified hardwood that feels, looks, and performs right for those who focus on the details.
  • Technical Reliability: Standard lengths from 6' to 12' allow for seamless integration into unique, non-standard installations.
  • Performance: Sound knots are limited to 0.50", ensuring a high-performance face for furniture and detailed architectural work.

Performance Compared to Other Woods

We are influencing the next generation of outdoor living by moving away from man-made plastics and embracing our local, healthy, and prolific hardwood resources.

  • 1. Superior Durability & Class Rating

    Americana™ offers Class 1 Durability with an expected lifespan of 25+ years in exterior applications. In comparison, traditional softwoods like Redwood and Cedar are typically rated as Class 2 with a 15-year lifespan, while vinyl performance varies significantly based on environmental exposure.

  • 2. Domestic Sustainability

    Unlike vinyl and other man-made plastics, Americana™ is a 100% natural and renewable resource. It is sourced from prolific Pennsylvania forests, supporting domestic forestry and carbon sequestration, whereas synthetic materials contribute to long-term plastic waste.

  • 3. 100% Chemical-Free Modification

    Our thermal modification process utilizes only heat and steam to transform the wood at a molecular level. This creates a healthy, non-toxic building material that is completely free of the chemicals found in pressure-treated lumber or the polymers used in vinyl siding.

  • 4. Authentic Architectural Beauty

    Architects value the "gorgeous" aesthetic of real hardwood grain that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. While vinyl lacks the depth and warmth of organic materials, Americana™ provides the authentic beauty of natural wood with the added stability of thermal modification.

  • 5. Natural Protection Against Pests

    The modification process removes the natural sugars (hemicellulose) that insects feed on, providing "Good" insect resistance. This makes it a superior choice over unmodified Redwood or Cedar, which often demonstrate "Poor" resistance in demanding outdoor environments.

Technical data only tells half the story. To truly understand the natural evolution of our thermally modified Ash, Poplar, and Oak, you need to see the grain and the patina firsthand. Our professional identification kits provide species samples and visual benchmarks of the natural silvering process—essential for setting accurate project expectations.
