THERMALLY MODIFIED TIMBER
Thermal modification uses heat to remove organic compounds from the wood cells, so it will not absorb water, expand, contract, or provide nourishment for insects or fungi. The high heat produces a naturally durable wood that is permanently resistant to water, insects, and decay. Because the wood is not absorbing chemicals to be treated, but rather removing moisture, the wood is lightweight.
Thermally modified lumber is dimensionally stable because it is less susceptible to cupping and warping. The wood has increased heat resistance and weather resistance as well. When properly maintained, it will not chip, rot, or warp over the years. After treatment this product will be suitable for decking, siding as well as interior and exterior joinery applications.
Available species:
- Ash
- Poplar
- Red Oak
- Soft Maple
