Frequently Asked Questions
What Acre by Modern Mill products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries Acre by Modern Mill exterior cladding and decking products. Acre offers exterior building products engineered from acetylated wood or wood composite technology, delivering improved dimensional stability and decay resistance compared to untreated wood without chemical preservatives.
What makes Acre by Modern Mill different from standard wood or composite siding?
Acre products use an acetylation process or engineered wood composite technology that fundamentally changes the cell structure of the wood, making it less hospitable to moisture absorption and biological decay. The result is a product with the workability and appearance of natural wood but with performance characteristics approaching composite or treated lumber without chemical preservatives.
Is Acre by Modern Mill suitable for Canadian exterior conditions?
Yes. Acre products are engineered for exterior performance in conditions including moisture, UV exposure, and the freeze-thaw cycling common in Canadian climates. The reduced moisture absorption of acetylated wood products makes them inherently more resistant to the swelling, shrinking, and rot that affects conventional wood in exterior applications.
Can Acre products be painted or stained?
Acre products can be finished with exterior paints and stains. Because acetylated wood absorbs less moisture and has a modified surface chemistry, some finishes may require specific primers or application protocols. Follow the Acre product documentation and confirm finish compatibility with Windsor Plywood staff before applying a finish coating.
Is Acre by Modern Mill a stock or special order item?
Availability varies by Windsor Plywood location. Contact your local branch to confirm whether Acre by Modern Mill products are currently in stock or available to order, and to confirm lead times. As a specialty product, planning your order timeline ahead of installation is recommended.
