Westwood Millworks is a Macon, Georgia manufacturer specializing in thermally modified wood for interior and exterior architectural use. Headquartered in Macon, the company has been a domestic pioneer of wood thermal-modification technology, producing premium siding, decking, trim, and millwork.
Products
Westwood Millworks crafts thermally modified wood products, including:
- ThermA Siding and ThermA Decking
- Architectural millwork, trim, soffits, and wall planks
- Material suitable for siding, decking, docks, interior flooring, windows, doors, saunas, and furniture
The company’s process uses only heat and steam, with no harsh chemicals, to modify the wood’s structure. The result is improved dimensional stability, decay resistance, and reduced water absorption, while preserving the natural appearance of real wood. The company notes that thermally modified wood is intended for non-structural applications.
Background
Operating from its Macon facility since the mid-2000s, Westwood Millworks has helped develop thermal-modification technology in the United States and operates its own proprietary kiln technology in house. The company sources the large majority of its timber from U.S. forests, including species such as ash, poplar, Southern yellow pine, hemlock, and cypress, and supplies architects, builders, lumber dealers, and designers seeking a sustainable, American-made alternative to tropical hardwoods, pressure-treated lumber, and composites.
