Molecularly Stabilized Hardwood

Americana™ hardwoods undergo a high-heat, chemical-free thermal process that fundamentally changes the wood at a cellular level. By removing the organic compounds (hemicelluloses) that rot-causing fungi feed on, we transform domestic Ash, Red Oak, and Poplar into Class 1 durable surfaces. This results in a material that is not only rot-resistant but incredibly stable in fluctuating climates.

  • Class 1 Durability: Rated for superior rot and decay resistance in ground-contact and exterior use.
  • Moisture Adaptability: Engineered to adapt seamlessly to wet and dry cycles without the risk of cupping or scalloping.
  • Zero Chemicals: A 100% natural process using only heat and steam, making it safe for families and the environment.
  • Dimensional Stability: Reduced hygroscopy ensures boards stay straight and true through extreme seasonal changes.
