THERMALLY MODIFIED RADIATA PINE
Advantages of Thermowood:
100% natural: free of resin manufactured without the use of any chemical substances.
Ecological: harmless to human beings and living species, it is environmentally friendly, healthy, recyclable, strong, durable and long-lasting.
Durable: Maintains durability in all weather conditions.
Stabilisation: As a result of heat treatment, the colour of the wood is more homogeneous.
Thermowood Properties
In addition to natural durability, thermal modification provides other benefits.
The timber darkens to an attractive deep brown making it ideal for timber cladding and decking. The colour change is consistent throughout the thickness enabling further cutting, drilling or shaping, without the need for additional preservative treatment and without affecting the durability or service life.
The changes to the physical properties give Thermowood greater stability over untreated or chemically treated timber. This means that Thermowood suffers less shrinkage, swelling, cupping and distortion than ordinary wood. This is demonstrated in the technical study carried out at the Helsinki University of Technology.
