Thermally Modified Wood
In our Raahe factory we can modify any kind of wood for our customers, but we specialize in sustainable Finnish Pine and Spruce (Redwood and Whitewood). We have most of the decking and siding/cladding profile sizes available from stock and also other dimensions are available by order. The treatment levels we produce are the best Durability Classes 1, 2 and some Durability Class 3 products as well. Our Thermally Modified Wood can be used for both exterior and interior applications, for example, for cladding and windows, doors and furniture to decking or flooring, landscaping and interior paneling.
Thermally modified sawn goods available from stock thicknesses 25, 32, 50 mm, widths 100, 125 and 150 mm. Other sizes by order available as well.
The composition of our wood is altered by effectively removing moisture and breaking down the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin components within the cell structure. Sugar molecules in the wood are converted into a substance that can no longer be eaten by fungi and moulds or digested by beetles etc. At the same time, natural preservatives like those found in tar are spread throughout the wood, preventing the growth of decay fungi.
