BPWood Sclaes Access to Premium Thermowood® with Expanded North American Supplier Network

New strategic partnerships strengthen North American availability of certified, premium ThermoWood, the gold standard in thermally modified wood

BPWood, a leading North American importer of specialty wood products, is expanding its distribution network to accelerate the prompt availability of LDCwood^® ThermoWood across the U.S. and Canada. The new partnerships, all with established regions, will bring ThermoWood to more markets and customers.

LDCwood, based in Belgium, produces ThermoWood. Recognized worldwide as the patented gold standard, ThermoWood technology significantly enhances the durability and dimensional stability of beautiful wood, making it an ideal choice for modern, sustainable building applications.

ThermoWood is suitable for a wide range of exterior and interior applications, including siding, decking, louvers, soffits, pergolas, and more. Available in multiple species, LDCwood products are easy to machine, coat, and glue, offering flexibility for both performance and design.

“We’ve been experimenting with thermally modified wood solutions since 2010, and have seen both successes and misses by producers,” said Joshua Kaye, owner at American Lumber. “Part of our role is to help dealers navigate complexity and offer the right product for the right purpose. BPWood has been highly reliable in ensuring consistent quality in everything we partner with them on, and we’re confident that their ThermoWood product line represents best-fit solutions in this rapidly growing category.”

“At Issaquah Lumber, we’ve always believed in bringing our customers the very best in performance and aesthetics—and LDCwood’s ThermoWood products hit the mark on both counts,” said Chad Amble, owner of Issaquah Lumber. “We’re excited to partner with BPWood to supply this exceptional line of thermally modified siding and decking. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to premium, sustainable wood solutions that are built to last in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.”

LDCwood products are sustainably sourced and manufactured using the gold standard ThermoWood process, the oldest and most trusted thermal modification method, governed by the International ThermoWood Association (ITWA). This process transforms wood into a durable, stable material capable of withstanding extreme conditions, without the use of chemicals. BPWood is the exclusive importer and distributor of LDCwood ThermoWood® to North America.

“We’re known as the nimble innovators and we’re ‘woody’ by nature, so we are thrilled to welcome these respected partners to our growing North American distribution family map,” said Paul Bouchard, founder and CEO of BPWood. “Each brings deep ‘woodiness,’ regional strength and customer relationships that will help us meet growing demand for certified, premium ThermoWood products.”
