Process of thermal modification of wood

The timber is introduced in an airtight chamber where it undergoes an innovative process lasting between 35 and 120 hours, depending on its thickness.

The result is a novel wood product with significantly improved features.

Phases of the Treatment Process

1

Heating

In the initial stage, the wood is rapidly heated up to 100°C.

2

Drying

This is followed by drying to 3-4%

3

Steam Application

The third stage involves the application of steam, in order to avoid combustion of the wood, and the temperature in the chamber is raised to its maximum level (180-230ºC).

4

Stabilising

The wood is stabilised, restoring its moisture content.

5

Cooling

In the final stage, the wood is allowed to cool down before taking it out of the chamber.
