Heat-treated wood is a natural material without any type of chemical treatment.
It is a material that, thanks to a heat-based thermal treatment, becomes an ideal product for use outdoors thanks to its much improved stability and durability, high resistance to xylophages and no need for subsequent maintenance.
This process consists of a thermal modification of the wood (TMT, Thermally Modified Timber), by applying, in a special chamber, high temperatures and water vapor.
The process
PHASE 1: The wood heats up quickly up to 100ºC
PHASE 2: The wood dries up to 3-4%
PHASE 3: Steam is applied to the wood and the temperature of the chamber is raised to the maximum (180 – 230 º C)
PHASE 4: Stabilization
PHASE 5: Cool down
The final result adds important improvements in the qualities of heat-treated wood.
These improvements have a permanent effect on the properties of the wood providing greater durability, stability and insulation, also ensuring a 100% ecological product, free of chemicals.
Heat-treated wood has multiple applications. Perfect for outdoor use due to its great stability and durability: floors, friezes, facades, windows, railings, etc
Its toasted tone gives it a noble and elegant touch.
The absence of chemical products and its hygienic quality make it ideal also for use indoors:
Baths and saunas
Platforms and Friezes
Furniture, Cabinets.
Coatings, etc
