Thermowood is natural wood that undergoes a heat treatment process (180-215°C) with steam and water in precise cycles. This eco-friendly, chemical-free technique permanently transforms the wood’s physical and chemical properties, resulting in a durable and sustainable material that benefits both people and the environment. The treatment enhances Thermowood’s dimensional stability and thermal insulation properties.
Unlike other woods, Thermowood is free of natural resins and formaldehyde. It boasts a pleasant aroma, reduced weight, and a smoother texture. Typically, Thermowood develops a warm caramel hue after processing. While it is resilient to outdoor conditions, prolonged UV exposure will eventually cause the color to fade to a greyish tone.
