What happened
Sustainable Lumber Company announced Montanafied Spruce, a thermally modified wood siding. The product uses high-altitude Engelmann spruce from Montana, which is permanently changed using heat and steam in a controlled, low-oxygen kiln. The siding is offered as a chemical-free alternative to pressure-treated lumber and imported tropical hardwood siding.
