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

The modification level can be chosen according to the requirements of the particular end use. The most common applications for modified wood are exterior constructions such as wall claddings and prefabricated wall elements, terrace floors, garden furniture, window frames, doors, playground, noise barriers and various jetties. Also indoors thermally modified wood can be used for a great number of various purposes such as parquets, wall panels, kitchen cupboards and sauna interiors. It is also suitable for furniture, various accessories and decorative goods. Musical instruments and boats are also being made.



Furthermore, thermal modification results in improved heat insulation and a darker shade of color. No impregnant agents are used in the process and therefore, it is best material to use in various applications.

The excellent resistance to decay and good dimensional stability, characteristic of modified wood makes it the ideal environmental friendly alternative in outdoor applications where wood is exposed to high levels of moisture, wetting and chancing weather conditions. With thermal modification you can enhance the natural beauty of wood and add many excellent properties to your products.
