Thermowood

Thermowood is a thermal modification process using steam and high heat treatment to increase the durability of wood. The process takes between 48 and 96 hours depending on timber species, width and initial moisture content. Thermowood process can be divided into 3 part high temperature drying, heat treatment and cooling.As a result of the high temperature applied to the wood, the substances which reduce the lifecycle of the wood, such as glucose, citric acid and resin, that exist at the inner part of the wood are removed and the rest is crystallized. This process makes the physical properties of the timber better, improves the durability and provides an excellent colour. As a result of the process, reduced moisture content of the wood and relative humidity removed the Thermowood timber becomes stable.

As a principle the heat treatment process can be done on all wood species.
