BACKWOODS BARK™
We didn't invent the use of tree bark for home building. We just perfected it.
BackwoodsBark™ is based on the time-tested, pioneer proven principle of using tree bark for weatherboarding in dwellings. Tree bark was first used by Native Americans in the Appalachian Mountain region. This creative building accent offers the use of indigenous materials to accurately represent Appalachian Mountain cultural style and adds rustic appeal to any home.
Appalachian Antique Hardwoods staff hand select the finest pre-harvested poplar trees. After hand peeling and kiln drying, we laser straight line rip each piece to ensure consistency and true square. The product is then graded into four thickness grades and palletized. The final result is BackwoodsBark™.
This is the siding product of choice for those who want to enjoy a 100% maintenance free home exterior for generations to come. Our high grading standards for BackwoodsBark™ have resulted in
the only independent laboratory tested and Professional Engineer certified product of its kind on the market today. After hand-peeling, we use our proprietary kiln technology to dry the bark, then laser straight line and square each piece, resulting in unmatched quality. Other bark companies recommend galvanized nails as bark fasteners. We have proven that our patented tri-thread screw fasterner system allows for almost twice the wind rating AND you never have to see the nail heads. We also employ a patented screw delivery system that decreases bark installation time by as much as 52%. Our commitment to a higher quality finished product with a lower installed cost is what makes BackwoodsBark™ such a great value for our clients..
