Wooden deck board THERMO WOOD

thermally treatedsustainableFSC certified

Beautiful, resistant, stable and long lasting. The heat treatment process is carried out by subjecting the wood to high temperatures, up to 220 ° C, in a special stainless steel plant, in a controlled atmosphere without oxygen, without the use of chemicals, inducing only heat, steam and water. Thermal treatment changes the chemical structure of the wood essence, varying its physical and mechanical properties. The high temperature in fact determines the deterioration of the wood component most reactive to water, thus reducing the possibility that the essence undergoes shrinkage and swelling or cracks. The heat treatment produces a uniform roasted coffee brown color, depending on the intensity of the temperature and excellent dimensional stability. The durability characteristics are also improved, which are similar to those of the best tropical woods, thus making the product suitable for resisting any harsh or humid climate, with excellent resistance to attack by insects, mold and fungi; in short, an optimal product for external use.
