2. THERMALLY MODIFIED PINE 
Benchmark Pine | Thermory 
Thermally modified wood from domestically sourced Scots pine. The chemical-free modification process subjects wood to high heat and steam, altering the material on a cellular level. The result is a lumber product with greater dimensional stability, durability, and rot resistance, as well as a rich darkening effect through the core. Applications include exterior and interior decking, cladding, and flooring.

3. WOOD INSULATION 
TimberFill | Timber HP 
Loose-fill insulation provides thermal and acoustic protection in attics and wall cavities, reducing the operational energy loads of buildings. Conventional counterparts are made of nonrenewable materials such as fiberglass or foam. TimberFill offers a wood-based solution from the leftover softwood chips of responsibly harvested, FSC-certified Maine forests. The addition of borate gives the product resistance to fire, mold, and insects.

4.  HEMP WOOD FLOORING
Hempwood® Organic Flooring | Hempwood 
Hempwood® is a composite material derived from hemp fibers grown in Kentucky and protein-based bonding agents. The resulting product is comparable to wood. Hempwood® Organic Flooring combines a 4mm Hempwood® veneer on an FSC-certified plywood backing. It is available in three styles–Site-finished, Natural, or Custom Color.

5. WOOD INSULATION 
TimberBatt | Timber HP 
Batt insulation provides thermal and acoustic protection for walls, floors, and ceilings, reducing the operational energy loads of buildings. It is typically made of nonrenewable materials like fiberglass. TimberBatt offers a wood-based solution from the leftover softwood chips of responsibly harvested, FSC-certified Maine forests. It is available in thicknesses of 3" - 7.25". The addition of borate gives the product resistance to fire, mold, and insects.

7. RECLAIMED SNOW FENCE 
Reclaimed Snow Fence | Centennial Woods 
Reclaimed wood sourced from mountain slopes in Wyoming. Snow fences keep snow from piling up on highways or other essential human constructions. Snow fence slats are replaced every ten years, providing a continual source of reclaimed, distressed wood. Applications include 1x6 lumber, exterior cladding, paneling, and interior trim.

9. THERMALLY MODIFIED ASH 
Benchmark Ash | Thermory 
Thermally modified wood from domestically sourced white ash. The chemical-free modification process subjects wood to high heat and steam, altering the material on a cellular level. The result is a lumber product with greater dimensional stability, durability, and rot resistance, as well as a rich darkening effect through the core. Applications include exterior and interior decking, cladding, and flooring.

11. THERMALLY MODIFIED FIR 
Mojave Thermally Modified Wood | Delta Millworks 
Thermally modified wood from domestically sourced Douglas fir. The modification process heats wood in a chamber that reaches 410-450º F. In the absence of oxygen, the wood avoids combustion but is altered on a cellular level. The result is a lumber product with greater dimensional stability and durability, as well as a favorable change in appearance, making it comparable to tropical hardwoods like ipe. A variety of colors and finishes are available. Applications include exterior siding, decking, soffits, and interiors. 
CMF: human health

The Common Materials Framework (CMF) organizes sustainability factors into five industry-standard categories: human health; climate health; ecosystem health; social health & equity; and circularity.
