Thermowood, Thermally Modified Timber, Wood, Costa Blanca, Spain

• Moisture content is reduced by up to 50% - low susceptibility to moisture & rot.
• Exceptionally increased dimensional stability over normal softwood – swelling and shrinkage are greatly reduced.
• Increased strength over untreated timbers by up to 20% - reduced bending & splitting.
• High resistance to warping & twisting.
• Greatly increased durability – life expectancy as long if not longer that that of chemically treated timbers.
• Reduced heat conducting properties – ideal for underfoot applications like poolside or hot tubs.
• Richness of colour – heat treatment darkens the colour all the way to the core.
• Can be worked like any other timber but is much lighter in weight and easier to handle.
• Reduced maintenance – stability & durability eases the burden of regular maintenance.

The exceptional durability of Thermowood makes it particularly suitable for exterior applications such as decking, cladding, fencing and trellis work, garden furniture and other outdoor constructions such as pergolas and car ports. As no chemicals are added to the timber, it is an ideal material to use in organic gardens.

It’s increased stability also makes it suitable for indoor use such as interior cladding, flooring, saunas, door & window frames and indoor furniture.

As no chemicals are added to the timber, any waste produced when working can be simply burnt without any pollution.
