Innovative Wood Products Beyond Lumber

by draughtnatalya on Oct 17th, 2024 16:48 PM

I’m really curious to hear what you all think about a topic that’s been on my mind lately. Specifically, I’d like to discuss innovative wood products beyond traditional lumber. With the push for sustainability and the demand for unique materials, there seems to be a growing market for alternatives. What kinds of innovative products have you come across? Are there any exciting developments in this area, especially from local sawmills?

There are a lot of exciting things happening at Sawmills in Vanderhoof, BC, especially in the custom wood products industry. Most sawmills are now moving away from conventional lumber to other composite products, including cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam. These materials offer both structural and environmental benefits, as they allow for more efficient use of available wood. In addition, recycled wood has grown in popularity not only because it is renewable, but also because it brings a special meaning to a project.

That sounds really interesting! I didn’t know there were so many innovative wood products out there. It’s great to hear that local sawmills are adapting to these trends. I’m sure the use of sustainable materials will become increasingly important as consumers become more environmentally conscious. I’d love to learn more about specific products or projects that are using these innovative materials. It sounds like there’s a lot of potential for creativity and sustainability in the wood industry!
