We deal in all Wooden products as well as interior and exterior designing. We are different because we do not use normal wood. We use Thermowood and give you a guarantee of 25 years. WOOD’S JOURNEY TO PERFECTION

Thermowood is a thermal modification procedure that preserves wood in its most natural and flawless state for a life-long journey. The first heat treated wood was produced in the 1930s by

German scientists Stamm and Hansen and in the 1940s by American scientist White. Research was continued in the 1950s by Bavendam, Runkel and Buro. In the early 90s VTT (Technical Research Center of Finland) further refined the research into heat treatment, and developed Thermowood method.

“Thermowood method” involves heating wood material to temperatures of up to 180⁰C and preserving it with steam. Besides the preservation, Thermowood process also causes certain chemical changes in wood. STAGES OF THERMOWOOD PROCESS

Thermowood Heat Treatment can be divided into three phases:

Phase 1: Drying; Temperature of wood is rapidly raised to 100°C. Following this rapid heating, temperature is increased steadily to 130°C, the wood is dried, and its moisture content is reduced to zero. Phase 2: Heat Treatment; Temperature is increased to 180°C (for Thermo S) or to 212°C (for Thermo D) using steam. After the target level is reached, temperature remains constant for 2 to 3 hours. Phase 3: Cooling and Conditioning; In the final stage, temperature is reduced to 80-90°C by water spray. This process continues until the moisture content reaches 4 to 6%.
