UFP-Edge Thermally Modified Wood Collection cladding is made to last. Not only does it have great curb appeal, it’s also more durable than natural wood siding because it resists rot. The innovative thermal modification process stabilizes the wood, making it less vulnerable to shrinking and seasonal expansion and contraction.
Our thermally modified boards come in a variety of on-trend pre-stained colors. The tongue and groove profiled planks can be installed on both interior and exterior siding, wall and ceiling applications. Our finishing process highlights the natural and random variation of the wood grain. These variations help provide a unique finish for each board.
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. Superior alder also known as select alder or clear alder, is a high-grade hardwood that produces a clearer stock than its close relative knotty alder. Alder, part of the birch family, is a softer hardwood from the Pacific Northwest.
Consistent color, stability, and uniform acceptance of stains and finishes are some of the characteristics that have made western alder a preferred wood for furniture. Its elasticity makes it ideal for carving intricate details. Ranking second only to oak as the most commonly used wood, alder offers the look of many fine hardwoods at a value price.
