Thermo-Treated in the USA

Reportedly the first domestically produced thermally modified hardwood has been introduced by Wahoo Decks and Rockwood Timber Group.

Rockwood lumber is thermally treated in Macon, Ga., eliminating international shipping costs. The process increases weather durability by up to 25 years; improves dimensional stability, cutting shrinkage and swelling by five to l5 times; and decreases the risk of mold, mildew, rot and insect infestation.

With a rich, deep brown finish and enhanced, accented grain structure, the wood is ideal for decks, docks, paneling, siding, moulding, flooring, doors and roofing. Species include white ash, elm, cypress, soft maple, sap gum, and poplar.
