The use of high temperature (170 to 212 degrees) and water vapor for wood treatment is a natural method to improve its characteristics. This process changes the cellular structure of the tree, and the result is an increase in dimensional stability, durability, resistance to moisture pests, bacteria, viruses and thermal insulation properties.
At the same time, Thermo wood is an environmentally friendly, natural product, the use of which has an even greater range of possibilities than wood itself. This is especially evident in the application in a more humid environment, such as facades, terraces and gardens of homes and restaurants, areas around the pool, beach or sauna, bath.
Floors of ships, parquets and decks that you can install in your homes or businesses today are made of thermally-treated wood.
Thermal processing is a completely new natural technological approach to creating a new type of wood with altered chemical mechanical properties of the material. No chemicals are used during the processing. The whole process is natural and is performed in an environment with saturated water vapor, without the presence of oxygen and at a high temperature of 170 to 212 degrees Celsius.
In such conditions, the chemical properties of the tree change and lead to melting of polysaccharides and caramelization of the material. This achieves protection of the tree from the influence of water, moisture, rot and bacteria, and thus achieves tree longevity, stability. of the material and easy processing. It is safe in case of fire because it emits a small amount of carbon dioxide.
The wood has improved characteristics up to 70 percent of ordinary wood and is not subject to deformation and has the properties of tropical trees with high resistance to moisture, water and rot. Termowood is an alternative to teak and other tropical trees but at a lower price.
Its color is from light to dark brown, with a pleasant appearance and depends on the temperature at which it is processed and the purpose. The touch gives a feeling of softness and warmth of refined material.
The product is completely safe for human health. Thermomodified wood is sterile and cannot contain bacteria, viruses or parasites that are dangerous to human health.
It is used for internal and external design:
