Profile & surface planning

Milled for repeatable lines &
project-ready details.

Straight grain, characteristic knots and a clean Nordic tongue-and-groove expression. High-temperature thermal modification reduces the board’s moisture response compared with the same species untreated.

Finish & Maintenance Recommendations:

Choose a compatible exterior finish when color retention is desired, and confirm factory-prefinish options with the dealer. If left unfinished, the surface will gradually weather toward silver gray; timing and uniformity vary with exposure and detailing.

LOWER EMCReduced moisture response

Lower moisture uptake helps reduce seasonal movement across board joints.

PROCESSHeat and steam

No added synthetic wood preservatives in the thermal process.

STABLETight joint lock

Reduced movement supports more predictable joints when the profile is installed correctly.
