Benefits of Thermowood process
The process results in a natural wood material with improved properties, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, in all climates. Invented in Finland 1994. The process permanently changes wood structure and moisture behavior, resulting in reduced EMC, improved dimensional stability, and enhanced resistance to biological degradation.
