Nordic character at architectural scale

Profile & surface planning
Milled for repeatable lines &
project-ready details.
A versatile Nordic profile for clean horizontal or vertical surfaces and decking. 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 moisture uptake helps reduce seasonal movement across board joints.
No added synthetic wood preservatives in the thermal process.
Reduced movement supports more predictable joints when the profile is installed correctly.
Available by consultation through Builders FirstSource Issaquah.
