Thermally modified wood
Wood that has been thermally modified to change some of its characteristics: it is placed in a chamber with an oxygen-free atmosphere for a set cycle. It is not a chemical treatment: only heat is used. It loses physical and mechanical properties: it is not recommended for structural use.
What it is
It is wood that has been thermally modified to change some of its characteristics. It is placed in a chamber with an oxygen-free atmosphere for a set cycle.
The process improves dimensional stability and increases resistance to moisture. It removes all the resin from the wood and produces a lighter material, with a uniform brown tone and a good balance between performance and price. Bear in mind: it loses physical and mechanical properties and is not recommended for structural use.
It is not a chemical treatment: only heat is used.
