Carbon Smart Wood is just wood, salvaged from trees that we divert from the landfill. This wood is used to create products with 26% less CO2e than regular wood and 7 times less than wood-plastic composites. Every board foot of Carbon Smart Wood has a net negative carbon impact – it’s wood that champions our planet.
Chemical Free.
A natural, chemical-free process using only heat and steam to remove moisture from wood cells. This makes it lightweight
Decay Resistant.
The risk of fungal attack is greatly reduced because thermally modified wood no longer contains sufficient nutrients.
Enhanced Appearance.
Darker through-color tones. that will vary with cook temperatures and species. When left untreated, will patina gray.
Increased Stability.
Thermally modified wood is less susceptible to cupping and warping with changes in relative humidity and easier to install.
Carbon Smart Wood™ is named for its powerful climate impact – salvaging wood otherwise headed to landfill, burning, and mulch piles. Carbon Smart Wood™ is never harvested or cut down for the sole purpose of providing wood. Instead, it gives new life to wood that would have otherwise been wasted.
STABLE, DECAY-RESISTANT, AND CHEMICAL-FREE
Introducing a range of thermally modified Carbon Smart Wood™ decking, siding and fencing options, thoughtfully crafted from locally sourced fallen trees. Through a chemical-free 3-phase kiln process, these four different species undergo a compositional change on a cellular level, making them suitable for exterior applications. Performance-driven and visually appealing, this is your sustainable choice for enhancing outdoor spaces.
Carbon Smart Wood is a sustainable wood product manufactured from lumber that would otherwise go to waste. It is a net-negative material, known for its durability and unique beauty. Carbon Smart Wood offers the benefit of minimal maintenance and low lifecycle costs, making it an eco-friendly alternative that meets the needs of environmentally conscious construction and design projects.
Each species of Carbon Smart Wood™ has its own maintenance recommendations based on its end use. In many cases, the frequency of maintenance is up to customer preferences.
