Thermowood<\/b>, also known as <\/span>thermally modified wood<\/b>, is a remarkable and innovative material that undergoes a specialized heat treatment process to improve its properties and performance. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the main advantages of thermo-wood is its improved geometric and dimensional stability. The heat treatment process alters the cell structure of the wood, reducing the moisture content and minimizing the wood’s natural tendency to shrink, swell, warp or crack when exposed to changes in humidity or temperature. This improved stability ensures that the thermowood retains its shape and dimensions over time, making it very suitable for <\/span>outdoor applications where exposure to weather is an issue<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shows increased resistance to decay and pest attack. Heat treatment changes the chemical composition of the wood, making it less attractive to insects and fungi that normally cause deterioration in untreated wood This increased durability and resistance to biodegradation make it an ideal choice for exterior decking, cladding, fencing and other outdoor applications where long-lasting durability and protection against decay are critical.<\/p>\n

In addition, thermowood has improved thermal insulation properties. The heat treatment process significantly reduces the thermal conductivity of the wood, resulting in a material that, due to the reduced moisture content, provides relatively better insulation than untreated wood or other conventional building materials. This characteristic makes thermowood an excellent choice for applications that require energy efficiency, such as exterior cladding, interior paneling or flooring, which contributes to reduced heating and cooling costs in buildings. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to bear in mind that thermowood is not currently used in statically and dynamically loaded structures due to the deterioration of structural properties during processing. Reduced strength and potential crushability due to damage to certain components of the cell structure, as well as the lack of a standardized classification of thermowood for structural applications, limit its general acceptance and use in load-bearing construction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Almost any timber is suitable for the production of thermowood, but there is a difference between thermowood and thermowood. The heat treatment of softwood, which is softer to begin with than hardwood, results in some loss of density due to evaporation of volatiles and resin leakage. In this respect, hardwood is less affected by heat treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Different technologies can be used for the production of thermowood (mainly thermopine)<\/a>, where the role of oxygen, temperature and pressure vary:<\/span><\/p>\n
