Why thermal modification? Why Arbor?
Arbor Wood is the premier choice for sustainably harvested thermally modified wood. Our material can be used in place of more expensive tropical wood species and is a domestic, renewable and environmentally conscious option.
The thermal modification process affects wood’s relationship with water by breaking down the hydroxyl groups in the wood and eliminating the bound water, as a result, making Arbor Wood less prone to mold, rot and fungal decay. The wood is also less likely to absorb new moisture, reducing the chance of swelling and shrinking by up to 60%. This reduces both the overall weight of the wood and helps support the general workability of Arbor Wood.
Sustainable & Durable
Utilizing thermally modified wood, which involves both heat and steam rather than chemicals, ensures a non-toxic material that is safe for both the environment and human contact. This approach not only reduces potential health risks associated with traditional wood treatments but also enhances indoor and outdoor air quality by minimizing off-gassing. Additionally, the durability and longevity of Arbor Wood contribute to healthier living environments by reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
Committed to Sustainability
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a certification program that acknowledges buildings designed and built with sustainable materials and practices. To earn LEED certification, a building must comply with specific criteria set by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Among these criteria is the use of eco-friendly materials, such as thermally modified wood, which can play a significant role in achieving LEED certification through its renewability, durability and chemical-free makeup.
