Thermo wood or thermo wood is a wood that is exposed to different temperatures from about 100 degrees Celsius to above 200 degrees Celsius in the presence of low amounts of oxygen during different stages by basic methods, and during this process, the cell wall is thermally modified.
This dries the wood and reduces the moisture in it. Also in this method and during this process, the destruction of cell wall components is done, according to which the swelling of wood is reduced by up to 50%. Then, by changing different conditions, this condition reaches a stage where almost all the gums and its internal moisture are destroyed and in addition, due to the thermo process, the resistance of wood to wood-eating fungi increases.
However, the mechanical properties of thermo wood are weakened due to the sublimation of some wood materials, which is necessary.
The latter should be considered when using thermo wood. After this process, the wood is resistant to cold, heat, rain, moisture, insects and any deformation in indoor and outdoor environments and can be used as thermo wood.
Thermo wood application
- Facade and interior decoration
- Outdoor and indoor flooring
- Pots, pavilions and roof garden
- Stairs
- Awning
Thermo wood features
- High resistance and strength against various weather conditions such as heat, cold and humidity
- Very fast and easy installation due to the light weight of wood compared to other materials
- Easy and convenient separation, repair, cleaning and washing
- Elimination of harmful substances in it such as formalizes by the process of applying heat to wood
- Reduction of noise pollution due to the insulating properties of wood
- Apply and perform a variety of curved and smooth cuts easily
- Transmitting a sense of beauty and tranquility and closeness to nature to the inhabitants of the house because it is natural
- Less cracking due to less moisture absorption
- Low heat exchange with the environment increases the insulating properties
- No mold penetration, resistant to pests such as termites
