Bill Kibbel 82 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 https://youtu.be/j8Ft3S_meOs I've experimented with some thermally modified wood. I was wondering if it would ever make it as a building product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 153 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I've wondered the same thing. They must cook it in a kiln with a very low oxygen atmosphere or something like that. Those panelized stone products are very similar to Castia Stone, which has a great track record in my area. I worked on a project that used Boral siding about 3 - 4 years ago and the installers had lots of problems with it. When they'd cut it with carbide saws, sparks shot out with the waste dust. They ended up getting the entire shipment of siding replaced and it worked fine after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Raymond 27 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I installed some Boral, it is very inconsistent. All of these are inverted T&G products. I can imagine the top facing grooves filling with enough water to pop adjacent panels when it freezes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juliusas 0 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Interesting experiment. It looks similair to degmeda wood siding products. Isn`t it the same siding? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
