Introducing ACRE™ Trim Boards
by Modern Mill
An Easy Durable Way to Finish Every Project.
ACRE™ Trim Boards and Dimensional Lumber are a sustainable, low-maintenance, durable alternative with the genuine look and feel of real wood. It’s also a pleasure to work with on the jobsite.
ACRE is lightweight, and easy to carry, yet every piece is strong, rigid, and straight. ACRE is also easy to cut, fasten without predrilling, rout, thermoform, and it accepts paint, stain, and lacquer without primer just like real wood. There is no need for special equipment or training. You can use ordinary woodworking tools, and waste is minimal.
Once your project is complete, you can be confident ACRE will not rot or splinter. It will stand up to water, weather, fire, pests, and UV for years to come and it is backed by an industry-leading materials guarantee. Best of all, ACRE helps protect the home and our world. It is made without harming a single tree, in a zero-waste environment in the U.S.A.
