We're proud of our meticulous wood treatment process, which harnesses the power of heat to enhance the natural properties of wood.
By carefully controlling temperature and timing, we strengthen the wood, making it more durable and less susceptible to damage—all without using any harmful chemicals, ensuring safety for you and your family.
The journey begins with the careful selection of the finest woods: acacia, oak, and ash. Known for their sustainability, durability, and beautiful grain patterns, these wood types are chosen as the perfect canvas. After selection, the logs are transformed to sawmill into planks and beams. Each piece reveals its unique character, guiding us as we uncover its full potential.
Natural Untreated Wood
Our untreated wooden products undergo a straightforward yet effective process to enhance their durability and beauty. After shaping, thewood is gently heat-treated in a kiln, where the temperature is gradually raised to 55 degrees Celsius. This step stabilizes the wood, reducing the chance of warping or shrinking, while also boosting its resistance to decay and insect damage. The result is a product that’s not only lovely to look at but also built to last.
Thermo Wood
Taking wood treatment a step further, our thermally-modified wood is a testament to what’s possible with advanced techniques. By subjecting the wood to intense heat, we create a material that’s incredibly durable, resistant to decay and insects, and remarkably stable. This process acts like a protective shield, enhancing the wood’s resilience against destructive elements.
Three-stage transformation
To maintain the wood’s integrity, we use a steam-based system that acts as a protective cocoon during the process
Pre-drying
Gradually heating the wood to 130 degrees Celsius, reducing its moisture content to 0%.
Thermal Modification
Rapidly increasing the temperature to between 185 and 230 degrees Celsius, where it’s held for several hours, fundamentally transforming the wood’s properties.
Cooling and Re-Moisturization
Cooling the wood using water sprays, then reintroducing a small amount of moisture (around 4-7%) to restore part of its elasticity.
The outcome
The wood that’s not only strong and durable but also boasts a stunning, rich color and enhanced grain pattern, reflecting our commitment to innovation and excellence.
