Performance & Precision

While initially considering pine, S&R chose Americana™ for its superior dimensional stability and longevity. A standout feature for the build team was the Structural End Match, which facilitated a stable, easy installation and significantly reduced wood waste by eliminating the need to trim boards to land precisely on a joist.

Robby, the lead project manager at Smith & Robertson, noted that the results exceeded the client's high expectations, providing the captivating elegance of real wood paired with modern performance specifications.
