Luxhammar delivers complete thermal modification units. 
Thermal modification is ecological method to protect wood against Bacidiomycetes. The treatment is based on natural method that makes wood protect itself.

Thermal modification changes the properties of wood permanently. It improves resistance to decay and to weather, reduces moisture deformations and increases dimensional stability.

Luxhammar Thermal Modification process takes place in a air tight stainless steel kiln chamber, where lathed timber is treated with high temperature up to 250°C (482°F).

The excellent resistance to decay and good dimensional stability, characteristic of Thermally Modified Wood makes it the ideal environmental friendly alternative in outdoor applications.

Due to the high temperatures the chemical structure of the wood components are greatly changed. Thermall Modified lumber has altered biological and physical properties. 

Thermal modification improves the resistance to decay which results from changes in the woods internal structure. The durability of thermally modified wood is uniform throughout the whole piece of wood.   

Five different treatment levels result in different properties, which makes it possible to use modified wood for all kind of applications.

Deformations caused by condition changes are reduced by 30-90 % in thermally modified wood compared with untreated wood.

In thermal modification timber acquires a darker attractive shade of color, which is uniform throughout the boards. Desired shade of colour is obtained by choosing the right treatment level.

Luxhammar supplies varios of standard size kilns as well as custom made size.
