  1. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? EcoVantage Thermally Modified Wood The History, Process and Applications of Thermally Modified Wood Products Presented By: Carlyle Holman

  2. History of Thermally Modified Wood Centuries ago, the Vikings treated wood with fire. They discovered that burning the surface of cut wood made it more resistant to the effects of outdoor exposure. Europeans in the last one hundred years improved the thermal process by incorporating steam. We have taken it to the next level with our EcoPrem process! The Viking Museum-Oslo

  3. The Process • No Chemicals are Used! • Wood Treated with Heat and Steam • Most Pressured Treated Wood Dried at 140*F • EcoPrem Processed over 400 * F • Eliminates Sugars and Starches

  4. The Process (continued) • Process is similar for softwoods and hardwoods • Softwood Used: Southern Yellow Pine • Hardwoods: Hickory, Oak and many more! • Patent protected proprietary process: consistent results

  5. Environmental Facts • Natural Wood Product • Free of toxins and chemicals • Fully recyclable • Bio-degradable material • Comparable energy consumption to pressure treated wood

  6. Key Properties • Permeability (water absorption) reduced • Warp, twist, expansion, contractions substantially reduced • Hardness improved (Brinell Scale) • Strength reduced (8%-9%) • Density increased (5%-10%) • Biological durability improved

  7. Advantages of Thermally Modified Wood • 100% Environmentally Friendly • Zero Toxicity • Dimensionally Stable • Beauty of Real Wood • Remarkably Durable • No Resin, sugars, low moisture (resists rot.) • 30 Year Warranty

  8. Working With EcoPrem • Safe: No Chemicals to harm workers • Sawing: No difference from untreated wood • Planing: Use ordinary planing equipment • Milling: Requires sharp blades • Sanding: Sandpaper does not gum up...less sap • Gluing: Glues with water base of 10%-12% best • Drilling: Pre-drilling not required if using self drilling deck screws

  9. Deck & Railing Systems • EcoDeck - A UV coating* is recommended to maintain colorand warmth of the wood • Resists - rot and decay • Beauty - of real wood • Sustainable * Wood Defender coating recommended, GreenSpec approved

  10. Premium Structural Wood • High Strength: • Light Weight: • Indoor & Outdoor Durability: • Dimensionally Stable:

  11. Wood Landscape Products • Docks • Piers • Fences • Arbors • Pergolas

  12. Premium Wood Siding & Flooring Products • Lightweight • Durable • Resists Rot and Water Damage • Beautiful in Interiors with Hardwoods

  13. Diverse Product Line Deck & Railing Line Wood Landscape Line Wood Structural Line Wood Siding Line
