What are the advantages of ThermoWood over Regular Wood?
Using ThermoWood in place of regular wood presents several advantages, including but not limited to:
Durability: As the wood is treated and becomes more resistant to the effects of insects, decay, and rot, ThermoWood can be used in a variety of outdoor applications without fear of degradation from weather exposure.
Stability: After the process of thermal modification, the moisture content of the wood decreases significantly and it acquires a property called “moisture balance,” which reduces the amount of absorption and heat exchange between the wood and its environment. This not only increases stability and the wood’s insulative properties, but also significantly reduces the frequency of splintering, cracking, and warping,
Sustainability: As the wood is protected via a temperature-based process as opposed to chemicals, the wood remains environmentally friendly and preserves its natural features, allowing it to be recycled after use. Further, the use of sustainable sources such as fast-growing softwoods reduces its environmental impact, and the increased durability of the wood reduces the need for frequent replacement.
Aesthetic appeal: This thermal modification process not only alters the innate properties of the wood, but simultaneously affects the color and appearance of the wood that undergoes it, giving it uniform dark coloration throughout the lumber and solidifying the exterior. It is also easy to wash and maintain, being impermeable to moisture.
