Thermowood
New and unique, Thermowood has been
treated at high temperatures to reduce sap
and resin levels. No chemicals are involved
in this process that produces a rich, warm
coloured timber that will last up to 5 times
longer than untreated boards.
The process also renders both heartwood
and sapwood equally durable offering a 30
year service life cycle.
A range of 4 profiles are stocked with both
a machined and fine sawn finish.

Siberian Larch
This wood is hard and moderately durable
but more heavy (590kg per m3). It is a
small movement wood and if the sapwood
is excluded can be used untreated.
Light in
colour varying from yellow to a light brown,
it possesses good resistance to impact and
wear due to its high density. |
