• Cambia adds value and utility to wood promoting responsible and sustainable forestry practices.
• The enhanced performance of Cambia rivals exotic species from tropical rain forests.
• Up to 80% of the energy required for thermal modification comes from the wood itself.
• Cambia scrap can be burned or land-filled without adverse environmental impact
• Cambia processed wood does not cup, warp or decay. Long lasting materials do not have to be replaced, saving time, money and resources
• Finishes last longer. Less paint means fewer VOCs in the environment
• Cambia does not contain any added chemical to improve its longevity or performance
• Cambia is naturally decay resistant
• The carbohydrates in the wood are transformed into carbon during the process. Deep brown Cambia heat- crafted lumber is often mistaken for exotic wood species
• Readily available natural resource. In 2004, North & Central American industrial wood production was 264,436,226 mbf.
• Environmentally efficient.. Wood is the only building material that is 100% renewable and is recyclable
• Wood requires less energy to manufacture and produces much less air and water pollution.. Wood, as a construction material, causes the least impact on the environment.
• A ton of concrete requires five times more energy to produce than a ton of wood.
• A ton of steel requires 24 times more energy than a ton of wood
• A ton of aluminum requires 126 times more energy than a ton of wood
• Cambia extends service life of wood and is cost effective relative to substitutes and alternatives
• Cambia is a safe, environmentally responsible and sustainable material, non toxic in service and free of toxins at the end of service.
