Statement Of Product Characteristics And Expectations
Acclimation of Ghost Wood® Products
Noti cation And Compliance Statement
Montana Ghost Wood is a new wood product which mimics the appearance and therefore the appeal of
reclaimed wood. By it’s very nature, Ghost Wood will go through some changes during the seasoning
process which could include, but is not limited to, some minor shrinking, splitting, warping, cupping,
pitch bleed, and/or color change.
Ghost Wood varies in color shades and tones much the same as reclaimed wood. Bannack Brown will vary
from dark brown to tan; Silver City will vary from silver grey to grey brown.  e degree to which Ghost
Wood will maintain or change color depends on location and exposure to weather. Color change can be
minimized by periodic application of a clear coat. Le alone, Ghost Wood will continue to age, the degree
to which, again depending on location. Some colors will darken, others will lighten as time goes on.
Properly acclimated and installed, Ghost Wood can be expected to perform as well as or better than
comparable products. Ghost Wood requires little or no maintenance depending on the above mentioned
factors and your long term goal for the appearance of the product.
