heat-treated thermowood decking

Grade:  Pine (Redwood) Thermowood.

Colour:   The color of the thermowood changes due to caramelization of glucose inside the wood , Hemicellulose is separated into furfural and carboxylic acid. Caramelization of lignin, caused by heat, results in a darker color, so Thermowood has a rich brown colour.

When exposed to the UV light it will weather to a beautiful silvery grey colour, unless otherwise protected by a stain.

Description:   Due to its stability and resistance to moisture and decay. Thermowood is an excellent choice of timber for both claddings and decking.
For further and full details on Thermowood please see our thermowood explaining.

Fixing

It is recommended to use pneumatic nailer with facility to adjust the pressure.

This nailer should penetrate so that the head sits flush with the cladding & decking surface.

Typically 2.1mm or 2.5mm is the recommended nail diameter when using a pneumatic nailer and improved nails.

The use of improved nails (annular ring shank nails) is recommended to improve nail holding strength and to be able to use thinner nails and avoid risk of splitting.

Nail types

Stainless steel nails should be used to fix thermowood, because plated nails can be damaged during fixing and can deteriorated when exposed to moisture, staining the area around the nail head.

A less visible lower guage nail can be used but lower pull-through strength should be noted, and additional fixings may be required. “Small head” or “sinding nails” are suitable for thermowood but “round-head” nails after greater holding power.

Thermowood is a durable product that will last for many years without applying any surface coating. The natural effect of weathering and exposure to sunlight on unfinished boards will, however, cause loss of color, increased raised grain, surface cracking and a higher risk of surface algae growth.

Pigmented translucent stain can give protection against UV light and consequent bleaching of the wood, while retaining the natural thermowood appearance. The most commonly used coating is a translucent stain coating a brown pigment close to the original thermowood color. The finish is usually slightly darker than the natural color of thermowood.

Only vapour permeable, either translucent or opaque “Low-build” stains recommended for exterior use should be used.

Different treatment will have different maintenance intervals. The more pigment used, the longer the maintenance-free period. See coatings manufacturer’s instructions.

It is recommended to apply on coat of finish to all faces before installation and apply additional coats once the boards are installed. Sealing of end grain with the finish is important if the board ends are to be tight butter. It will reduce the potential for any moisture ingress and possible staining around the end grain.

The finish should be applied on thermowood in accordance with the recommendations of the coatings manufacturer, with strict attention given to proper coverage instructions, temperature and weather conditions at the time of coating and any other specific requirements. Surface must be clean and dry when treated.

The environment and climate have crucial impact on the service life of surface coatings, and UV light and moisture are the major factors affecting surface coatings. This could mean South-facing elevations need more regular maintenance than those facing North. In addition, buildings exposed to prevailing winds may require more maintenance than those more protected, due to the abrasive factor of the wind-blown moisture. Always refer, where possible, to the coatings manufacturer’s specific instructions of maintenance of any finish.

To ensure maximum performance of any coating, the surface should be cleaned and checked regularly. If defects occur in the coating it is usually a sign of a structural weakness, which should be repaired immediately.

Unfinished thermowood will also benefit from occasional washing with a mild detergent solution to remove surface growth or dirt.

Annual inspection is a advisable in order to spot any faults that could lead to possible serious damage. Mechanical damage may require immediate repair.

1. How can the wood be thermally modified?

The process can be divided into three phases:

1. Temperature increase and high temperature drying:
Wood temperature is raised rapidly using heat and steam to a level of around 100 °C. In this phase we use steam because if the heat temperature of wood is too much this wood directly explored, so we need to use steam. In this phase the moisture become nearly to (%0). 
2. Heat Treatment:
Whenever high heat drying is occurred the temperature is increased to a level of 185-215 °C. After we reach to that heat temperature with the type of wood (2-3) hour is remains in the same heat. In this phase the steam make the wood not burn.
3. Give the moisture to wood:
In the final stage, the temperature is reduced to 50°C-60 °C by using water spraying system, this process is continued to when the moisture content is reached to 4% -6%.

3. Where can the Thermowood be used?

Thermo-S

The letter ‘S’ in ‘Thermo-S’ stands for ‘stability’. Along with appearance, stability is a key property in the end user applications of the products in this treatment Class. The average tangential swelling and shrinkage due to moisture for Thermo-S class treated wood is 6–8%.

The letter ‘D’ in ‘Thermo-D’ stands for ‘durability’. Along with appearance, Biological durability is a key property in the end user applications of products in this treatment class. The average tangential swelling and shrinkage due to moisture for Thermo-D class treated wood is 5–6%.
