Thermal Modification

Chemical Free

Thermal modification is a natural, chemical-free process using only heat and steam to remove moisture from wood cells. As a result of lower moisture content, it is lighter weight for easier handling/installation.

Increased Stability

Thermally modified wood is less susceptible to cupping and warping with changes in relative humidity.

Decay Resistant

The risk of fungal attack is greatly reduced because thermally modified wood no longer contains sufficient nutrients.

Enhanced Appearance

Thermally modified wood will have darker through-color tones. Color will vary with cook temperatures and species. Like standard wood, thermally modified wood, if left untreated, will turn a weathered gray color over time.
