Testing services

The science behind thermally modified wood.

Together with our customers, we conduct research and test runs on different types of wood. The aim of our research and testing work is to investigate the properties of different wood species as thermally modified products and assess their commercial potential.

We also collaborate with LAB University of Applied Sciences to study the effects of thermal modification on new materials. We have a small test kiln that replicates the characteristics of an industrial-scale processing plant.

At Jartek, we partner with customers from the very beginning of their investment journey. Together with LAB University of Applied Sciences, we offer a testing service where customers can evaluate their own wood species in Jartek’s thermal modification kiln.

Customers can either participate in the process or send a test batch for analysis. This helps determine wood suitability before investing in thermal modification technology.

After modification, the treated wood undergoes strict laboratory tests, including:

  • Colour scanning for tone consistency

  • Screw pull-out resistance for fastening strength

  • Brinell hardness tests for wear resistance

  • Weather chamber simulations for durability

  • Moisture measurement for accurate planning

Let's talk about your next project.

Let's build something that lasts. Whether you're looking for a new production solution, service support or a career that shapes the future of the wood industry – Jartek is ready to connect.
