FAQ

Thermally modified timber is becoming an increasingly popular choice for projects ranging from terraces and facades to interior decoration. To help you better understand the benefits and applications of this wood, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about its use and installation.

Can thermally modified wood be used outdoors?

Yes. Thermally modified wood is an excellent choice for outdoor projects such as terraces, facades or outdoor furniture. The heat treatment makes the wood highly resistant to moisture, pests and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for outdoor use and much more durable than traditional wood.

Does thermally modified wood require special care?

Minimal maintenance. Thermally modified wood is highly resistant to rotting, warping and pests and therefore requires little maintenance. However, to maintain its aesthetic appeal, it is recommended to periodically renew the surface protection (e.g. by oiling), especially if the wood is used outdoors.

Can thermally modified timber be installed using traditional timber fixing methods?

Yes, but there are a few differences. Thermally modified wood is harder and drier than traditional wood, so it is recommended to use stainless steel screws and nails during installation to prevent rusting and to ensure a strong connection. It is also important to maintain the spacing between the boards during installation, as although wood is less prone to change shape, it has expansion and contraction properties.

Is thermally modified wood suitable for interior decoration?

Yes. Thermally modified wood not only looks great outdoors, but is also an aesthetically pleasing choice for interiors. Its warm shade and natural texture give rooms a luxurious look, while its stability and resistance to warping allow it to be used for floors, walls, ceilings and furniture.
