What is Modern Mill?
Modern Mill’s leading product ACRE™ offers a fresh new take on beauty, sustainability, and durability. This brand-new material is manufactured from upcycled rice hulls, a by-product of rice production, giving ACRE™ its amazing strength, water resistance and organic feel – making it virtually indistinguishable from real wood.
Perfect for the needs of an architect, artisan, builder and homeowner alike. It looks, feels and handles like real wood, but with less maintenance.
