Education continues to play an important role with consumers wanting information on thermally modified wood.

Having access to a new and innovative product such as thermally modified wood requires continuing education to the North American consumer. Most consumers are not aware of the benefits of thermally treated wood over other traditional non thermally treated wood products such as spruce, pine, douglas fir, western red cedar or southern yellow pine.

Thermally modified wood producers continue to play an important role with educating the retail building material companies with proper training of sales staff and management. “Its important that  our dealers and distributors staff are able to speak with confidence when dealing across the counter with a potential purchaser”  says Jacob Baranski, of Cherry Forest Products.
