Our Process
From log to finished panel in seven steps
Wood goes into the kiln within 8 days of cutting, and every batch is checked before it ships.
Plantation
Step 01
Our own plantations in Manabí, Esmeraldas and Los Ríos. Replanted every 4 to 5 years.
Reception
Step 02
Logs are debarked as soon as they arrive, then sawn into lumber for drying.
Kiln drying
Step 03
Starts within 8 days of cutting. The kiln dries the wood evenly and kills fungi and insects.
BCB block
Step 04
Each block is measured for density, then bonded to ASTM D-4690.
Panel
Step 05
Blocks are sliced into panels, micro-sanded to thickness and finished. Rigid (RP), flexible (FPS) or coated (S2S, UVSS).
Quality control
Step 06
We check a sample of 12 panels from each block for size, moisture and density before the order ships.
Export
Step 07
Packed and shipped in containers from Ecuador to your port.
