Thermo Ash
Novawood Thermo Ash
Thermal modification enhances the natural characteristics of American ash to create a product which is extremely durable and stable with an attractive appearance.
The kiln dried timber is heated to 212°C at which point the timber’s natural properties change and it turns a rich walnut brown colour.
The process uses only heat and water and is completely chemical free with the energy for the kilns generated from wood waste.
All the timber used to produce Thermo Ash is FSC certified, achieving the highest environmental standard.
