Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood

Naturally modified wood with supernatural performance.

The science behind the product:

Thermal Modification changes the chemical structure of the wood. The process changes both the physical and biological properties of wood, hindering its ability to reabsorb moisture. Additionally, through the transformation process, the sugars found in the wood are converted into a natural substance that cannot be digested by insects and that does not contribute to fungus or mold growth.

The results of the modification give Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood significant advantages against the elements:

Outstanding dimension stability – This greatly reduces the woods natural tendency to warp, cup and shrink
Durability – Excellent performance against the elements
Natural resistance to rot and decay
Exceptional performance with paints/stains/glues due to the low moisture content (can be painted or stained immediately)
Attractive golden brown color with Pine and dark tones with hardwood species

Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood has been successfully used throughout Europe for years.

Advantages
The enhanced durability and performance make EVOLUTIONS an excellent choice for the eco-conscious consumer, but the advantages don’t stop there…
- It’s rapidly renewable.
- It’s locally and abundantly available in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There are no other naturally rot-resistant woods grown locally.
