PhoenixWood™ is a line of thermally-enhanced hardwood lumber that resemble high-priced exotic hardwoods while using domestic sustainably harvested species. Patented in Europe in the late 1990’s and widely used today, the Thermal-Wood process has been used to make mouldings, flooring, paneling and decking for many years. Now this European technology has been brought stateside.

Combined with FSC certification, PhoenixWood™ hardwood lumber provides you with a wood readily available that is harvested and processed in an environmentally sensitive manner. In the enhancement process there are no environmental emissions and the resulting product has many characteristics never before available in North American hardwoods. These characteristics include:

• Consistent color throughout
• Improved dimensional stability
• Greatly reduced water absorption

Because the color in PhoenixWood™ is consistent through the full thickness of the piece, a PhoenixWood™ floor can be scratched and still retain the same color, making it ideal for heavy wear, commercial environments. The dimensional stability of PhoenixWood™ is 2 to 3 times greater than untreated wood, making it the perfect product for flooring and mouldings in environments where winter moisture contents that are very low contrast with summer humidity. PhoenixWood greatly reduced water absorption can also benefit high traffic, commercial environments where frequent floor cleaning is necessary.

For companies looking to mesh environmental responsibility with the best product available, PhoenixWood™ is the answer. With PhoenixWood™ no tropical forests were destroyed, yet the same rich, dark durable look is attained. Specify PhoenixWood™ for your next product and you will see why this exciting, contemporary technology is being sought after worldwide.
