KLAASWOOD (KWD) is proud to announce that it is one of the twelve recipients of the prestigious LBM Journal Innovation Awards for 2024.

KLAASWOOD employs cutting-edge, 2nd generation hydrolysis technology that is revolutionizing the field of thermally modified wood. Our wood siding, decking, and trim undergo a distinctive thermal modification process where the wood is exposed to high temperatures and pressure in a controlled environment. This process fundamentally transforms its chemical and physical properties, significantly enhancing stability, durability, and resistance to decay and moisture—all without the use of chemicals or biocides. Our dedication to advancing modified wood technology is positioning wood as the next-generation material of choice. Our products, naturally superior, are further enhanced for durability and performance, benefiting both people and the planet while preserving natural integrity.

KWD's thermally modified wood offers unparalleled stability and durability, surpassing untreated wood siding, decking and trim. Our products require minimal maintenance and boast enhanced moisture resistance. With a range of four colors and the option for customization through painting or staining, KWD allows you to personalize your exterior to your exact preferences. The natural and authentic wood appearance of KWD, coupled with the benefits of alternative materials like vinyl or fiber cement siding, makes it a standout choice for discerning customers.

Peter Klaas, Ph.D., Owner & Founder of KLAASWOOD, shares a personal message, “As you experience our product firsthand, I hope you can sense the quality and appreciate its aesthetics.
