Material & assembly planning
Cataloged 2x2 and 2x4 profiles provide a repeatable starting point for screens and trim layouts.
Sharp tools and supported cuts help produce crisp corners and architectural reveals.
Reduced tangential movement supports more consistent joints through seasonal changes.
Thermal modification reduces moisture uptake and changes nutrients used by decay fungi; confirm the rating for the selected profile.
Real wood modified without added wood-preservative chemicals.
