ThermoWood® is a sustainably produced wood material created through heat and steam treatment, enhancing its technical properties. It is non-toxic, dimensionally stable, decay-resistant, and resin-free, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use in any climate.
Properties
- Dimensional stability
- Reduced moisture content
- Improved decay resistance
- Lower thermal conductivity
- Consistent color throughout
- Non-toxic
- Reduced splitting and bending strength
Treatment Classes
There are two classes: Thermo-S (Softwood) and Thermo-D (Hardwood), categorized based on their properties and treatment temperatures. Thermo-S focuses on stability, with a tangential swelling and shrinkage of 6-8%, suitable for applications like building components, furniture, and fixtures. Thermo-D emphasizes durability, with a 5-6% swelling and shrinkage, ideal for applications requiring enhanced decay resistance.
ThermoWood combines stability and durability for various applications while ensuring environmental safety.
