Thermally Modified Wood, The EcoPrem Process
EcoVantage wood products are created by thermally modifying the wood with a heat and steam process. This process actually dates back to the age of the Vikings. They discovered that burning the surface of wood made it more durable, perfect for exterior use.
Europeans have been perfecting the thermally modified wood process over the past century, incorporating steam into the heat process. Incorporating steam allows us to heat the wood to an extremely high temperature, protecting the wood in the process. The steam also aids in altering the makeup of the wood's structure, making it resistant to rot, mildew and decay. All this is done without chemicals.
EcoVantage had perfected the heat and steam formula to produce a superior line of exterior wood products and brought it to the U.S. EcoVantage products are produced with #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine at an Indiana manufacturing facility in the United States.
