Thermowood-Aspen
Thermowood with natural rot resistance
When wood is heat-treated the fungi that cause decay are unable to survive, and the wood does not 'live' in the same way as untreated wood. As a result, it hardly swells or shrinks, which makes it a very useful material for the sauna and outdoor furniture.
The properties of wood change when it is treated at high temperatures. When wood is 'baked' at temperatures of over 200ºC, its sugar content breaks down and becomes unusable by fungi. At the same time, natural protective agents present in the wood spread and protect the wood. In other words, the wood's rot resistance is greatly improved without any need to use chemical substances.
