Proud to see ACRE Flat Crown Moulding featured in LBM Journal's Product Picks for June 2026.

It is the alternative to wood crown that actually takes stain like wood, so it matches whatever finish your project calls for, indoors or out. Made from upcycled rice hulls, it resists moisture, pests, and the upkeep that comes with real wood. No added formaldehyde, VOCs, or adhesives.

Available in 3" and 6" widths, 16' lengths, and 3/4" thickness, built for traditional and historic-style applications.

A closer look at the custom coop built for the Vice President's residence, crafted with ACRE by .mill

Beyond the design, this build shows exactly why ACRE belongs outdoors. It's tree-free, made from upcycled rice hulls, and free of formaldehyde, VOCs, and PFAS. It resists water, rot, and pests without the upkeep traditional wood demands, durable enough for a structure that animals call home.

Big news from a historic backyard! Our partners at Carolina Coops just installed a custom chicken coop at the Vice President's residence, designed to match the Victorian architecture of the Naval Observatory. The coop is made with ACRE, our tree-free material made from upcycled rice hulls that resists water, rot, and pests. Congratulations to Matt DuBoise and the Carolina Coops team on 18 years of American craftsmanship and one unforgettable build. 🐣 🇺🇸

ACRE made Professional Remodeler's Product Roundup. 🌾

They called out our biggest differentiator: ACRE is the only composite with no plastic cap stock, so it can be stained or painted with water-based products, no primer required. Tree-free, made from upcycled rice hulls, with the organic grain of cedar, ipe, and teak.

Thank you to the Professional Remodeler team for the feature.

The Future of Wood is ACRE.

Same stain. Same three years. Same backyard in Ipswich, MA.

One of these chairs is teak. One is ACRE. Sherwin-Williams SuperDeck Semi-Solid went on both almost three years ago to the day, and both have lived outside ever since. Spot the one that held its finish.

ACRE does not soak up moisture like wood, so color stays truer and maintenance drops. Less fading, less re-coating, more time actually using the chair.

Soffits, but make them ACRE ✨

Soffits hit different when they're made with ACRE. It's a wood alternative made from upcycled rice hulls, so it has that real wood look without the rotting, warping, or bug damage. Pretty up top, tough underneath 💪
