Environmental Attributes of Echo Wood® Sourcing Echo Wood® is manufactured using two different species: Ayous (Triplochiton Scleroxylon) also known as Obeche or Samba. This fiber source is primarily harvested in the central region of West Africa, specifically Western Cameroon. It remains abundant and is secure throughout its natural growth range, with little to no threat to its population. Along with the procurement of certified wood, our factory works directly with the Cameroon local governments to comply with their Forest Management Plan with the primary focus being sustainability. Ayous logs, certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council are the fiber source for all FSC certified Echo Wood®. Basswood (Tilia) also known as Linden. This fiber source is primarily harvested from plantations in Northern China and is a close relative to Basswood found in North America and Europe. Our factory works with Basswood plantations to ensure all government regulations are compiled with while using sustainable forestry practices to harvest this fiber. Through supervised forest management programs and consultation with independent foresters, our mill ensures harvesting methods are monitored for sustained yield management and minimal environmental impact. The factory also maintains membership in many international organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund Forestry and Trade Network, holds the China Environment Labeling Certificate, is certified for ISO 14001 Environmental Management and is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) for chain of custody. Dehua TB (FSC cert. #SGSHK-C0C-006659) and Hardwoods Specialty Products (FSC cert. #SCS-C0C-000144) are committed to sustainable forestry management and encourages all who participate in the forestry supply chain to do the same. By using readily available and FSC certified Ayous, harvested using sustainable forestry practices and plantation grown Basswood, we can create the look of almost any exotic veneer such as Ebony, Zebrawood, Rosewood, Teak, and Wenge while saving these great forests for future generations. All fiber purchased for production is harvested in compliance with the CITES International Trade Agreement.

Installation Echo Wood® can be ordered already laminated to your choice of substrates, and delivered to the fabricator for further processing. The fabricator may also do their own lamination by following the installation instructions below. Surface Preparation Echo Wood® veneers should be bonded to a high quality backer, plywood, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), Particleboard (PBC) or similar product using a ridged glue line and following the directions of the adhesive manufacturer. The more resistant the substrates are to dimensional change (expansion and contraction due to humidity and temperature) the better the results. It is critical that Echo Wood® is properly acclimated a minimum of 48 hours along with the substrate and adhesive prior to fabrication. Contact cement can only be used with Echo Wood® veneers that have a phenolic backer or other backers that are approved for use with contact cement and should not be used with fleece or raw back veneer. Before applying the Echo Wood® veneer, carefully inspect the face and back for oil, grease, wax, dirt, dust or other contaminates. The surface must be smooth, all holes, indentations, bumps or raised areas must be either filled or sanded smooth. For most panel products, a balancing backer should be used to avoid warping. Finishing Echo Wood® veneers are primarily intended to have a clear lacquer, varnish, polyester or other standard finishing materials applied to them. Echo Wood® veneers can take a stain, but each species will have varying results. Test finishes on a sample before finishing a final product. Finish all edges to help prevent moisture absorption. All wood veneers will fade or change color with exposure to a strong light source. UV inhibiting finishes are necessary to retard fading or color change. Project Conditions Care should be taken to ensure that Echo Wood® veneers/panels are installed in a project that has suitable environmental conditions (ambient temperature exceeding 65 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of 40-60%). Maintenance The finished surface should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with the recommendations of the finish manufacture's specifications.

Storage and Handling All wood veneers are subject to ambient atmospheric conditions such as humidity and temperature. Optimum conditions for handling and storing Echo Wood® veneers are when ambient temperatures exceed 65 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 40-60%. Echo Wood® veneers should be stored horizontally with a dark, non-transparent cover completely protecting them from UV light. Care should be taken to not fold, crease, dent, or scratch the veneers. Limitations Echo Wood® veneers are not recommended for exterior use or direct application to concrete or other similar products. Dyes used in the production of Echo Wood® veneers are sensitive to natural and artificial UV light. As with all natural woods, Echo Wood® could fade or change color with prolonged exposure to UV light. A UV inhibiting finish must be used with all wood products.
