The UE LIVE SAWN Collection offers a cohesive, full product suite from one single sustainable source:
Veneer Wall Paneling
Standard & Wide Plank Flooring
Wall & Ceiling Cladding
Constructed Beams & Millwork
Tables & Surfaces
Working with local and underutilized wood materials for the past 25 years has taught us to stretch beyond the expected and let nature be our guide to what is beautiful and acceptable in building design.
Benefits of live sawn include:
- A more connected visual experience to the life and growth of the tree
- Responsible wood sourcing to include urban wood, underutilized species, and selectively harvested Midwest lumber.
- Opportunities for regional and local sourcing
- Maximizing wood yields
- Lower waste manufacturing
- Healthy interior finishes

Our Commitment to Sustainability
The Live Sawn Design Movement
A new and essential direction in environmentally responsible design

Live sawn describes a traditional and historic slicing method for lumber, more commonly used across Europe. This technique, combined with our responsible sourcing, produces a less edited, whole-grain appearance in flooring, wall cladding, table-top and veneer plywood. UE LIVE SAWN further allows for wider board widths, less waste, and provides a traceable wood story to be celebrated within projects across the country. Read more.

The Perfect Pairing
Live sawn wide plank flooring or wooden veneer panels paired with our slatted wood walls is the perfect combination.
Our three-dimensional slat wood wall panels provide a refined, modern alternative to traditional wood paneling, bringing warmth and texture to commercial and residential settings. Our product offering includes white oak, ash, walnut, doug fir and paint grade in most of our standard profiles.
