US Lumber Brokers Helps Architects and Builders Navigate CITES Regulations with Sustainable Alternatives

US Lumber Brokers, an Austin-based building materials distributor, is proud to announce its partnership with Tantimber to offer architects and builders a sustainable and high-quality alternative to South American hardwoods (IPE wood, Cumaru wood.) With the introduction of Tantimber’s ThermoWood products, including Ash, Pine, and Ayous, US Lumber Brokers is helping the industry navigate the complexities of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) regulations.

As CITES regulations become increasingly stringent, the demand for sustainable and legally sourced building materials has never been higher. US Lumber Brokers is committed to providing solutions that meet these demands while maintaining the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Tantimber’s ThermoWood products are manufactured using cutting-edge thermal modification technology, resulting in timber that is durable, dimensionally stable, and resistant to decay, rot, and insects.

“We are excited to offer Tantimber’s ThermoWood products as a superior alternative to traditional South American hardwoods like IPE and Cumaru,” said Benjamin Baker, Director of Sales at US Lumber Brokers. “These products not only meet the rigorous requirements of CITES but also provide our clients with a sustainable and eco-friendly option for their building projects.”

Tantimber’s ThermoWood Ash, Pine, and Ayous are sourced from FSC and PEFC-certified forests, ensuring that the timber is harvested responsibly and sustainably. The thermal modification process enhances the wood’s natural properties, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including decking, cladding, and interior finishes.

US Lumber Brokers is dedicated to supporting architects and builders in their efforts to create sustainable and environmentally responsible projects. By offering Tantimber’s ThermoWood products, the company is helping to reduce the reliance on endangered tropical hardwoods IPE or Cumaru and promote the use of sustainable building materials.
