Mataverde Thermally Modified Hem Fir Siding is available in many traditional wood siding profiles.

Mataverde ThermaWood Hem Fir siding is a beautiful and high-performance exceptional real wood siding option that can be used in traditional tongue and groove siding profiles.  The material is produced in a specialized vacuum kiln using pressure and moderately high temperatures. The pressure allows Hem-Fir (Hemlock) to be thermally modified at lower temperatures, producing a unique wood product with high performance and exceptional beauty.
