Thermo wood, also known as thermally modified wood, is a type of timber that has been treated with heat and steam to improve its durability, stability, and resistance to moisture, decay, and insects—without using any chemicals.
Key Features of Thermo Wood:
Durability: The heat treatment process changes the structure of the wood, making it more resistant to rot and fungal decay. It often achieves a durability class similar to tropical hardwoods.
Dimensional Stability: Thermo wood is less prone to warping, swelling, or shrinking due to changes in humidity.
Eco-Friendly: It’s a chemical-free process using only heat and steam, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly option.
Aesthetic Appeal: The treatment gives the wood a rich, darker tone, enhancing its natural grain and providing a premium look.
Applications: Commonly used for exterior cladding, decking, sauna construction, furniture, and other outdoor or moisture-prone uses.
