Thermowood®
At Sol-deck we have a commitment to the environment.
Thermowood® originates from Scandinavian sustainable forests. It is softwood with hardwood performance. Its natural red-golden tone is akin to that of a hardwood, it may look like teak but you can be safe in the knowledge that no rainforest has been felled. It is the product of an environmentally friendly heat treatment for softwoods.
Why use Thermowood®:
- Moisture content is reduced by up to 50% - low susceptibility to moisture & rot.
- Exceptionally increased dimensional stability over normal softwood - swelling and shrinkage are greatly reduced.
- Increased strength over untreated timbers by up to 20% - reduced bending & splitting.
- High resistance to warping & twisting.
- Greatly increased durability - life expectancy as long if not longer that of chemically treated timbers.
- Reduced heat conducting properties - ideal for underfoot applications like poolside or hot tubs.
- Richness of colour - heat treatment darkens the colour all the way to the core.
- Can be worked like any other timber but is much lighter in weight and easier to handle.
- Reduced maintenance - stability & durability eases the burden of regular maintenance.
