Not every builder has heard about such wonderful material as thermowood. Why not eliminate the gaps in knowledge in the carpentry realm?
The
conversation should start with the fact that today, in the era of the dominance
of plastic and polymers, naturalness, environmental friendliness are more
valued than ever. Therefore, the best material for interior decoration than
wood is not found.
Light, pliable, firmly holding nails or screws in an array, and most importantly beautiful! On the construction site, disputes can be conducted only about the type of wood: someone likes the classic oak, someone practical pine, and someone a supporter of alder. Everywhere there are pros and cons. But there are technologies for obtaining a fundamentally new type of materials, his name is thermowood.
Thermowood:
new properties - new features.
It is difficult
to believe that there is a tree with such strong properties, but it exists. Of
course, in the forest it can not be found. If higher performance
characteristics are required, professionals unanimously advise to stop the
choice on thermal wood. Where to find it?
Tesli is
one of the few domestic manufacturers who have mastered and successfully
introduced into production the revolutionary process of sawn timber processing.
Tesli is one of the few domestic manufacturers who have mastered and successfully introduced into production the revolutionary process of sawn timber processing. In the hands of our masters, the classic board acquires unique properties.
Main advantages of thermowood:
· It is not
subject to decay, a mold;
· Not
afraid of changes in temperature;
· Always
saves its linear dimensions;
· Does not
warp, does not deform;
· Not
afraid of rodents and insects;
· It is
climatically steady, and does not absorb moisture.
For more than two decades, we have been producing a profile from thermolinden, thermoalder, thermopine and thermooak. Every year the demand for innovative material is steadily increasing.
Pioneers of
innovative heat treatment
The
architects of the entire planet have built and continue to build from wood to
this day. Where natural conditions are the most severe - temperature
fluctuations, dampness, precipitation - sometimes the life of a person depends
on the reliability of a house. Innovative solutions, modern methods and
materials are needed, because wood in its natural form is not a sufficiently
resistant material. The best selected boards even are subject to rotting,
fungal damage, warping under the influence of moisture. It would seem a dead
end - but the way out was found in the country of fjords and sagas.
Finland is forest-rich, and thus rich for business building materials. However, the whims of Nordic nature make even the most robust wooden structures short-lived. At the end of the last century, local residents began to apply the thermal modification method for sawn timber processing. The main secret is the absence of oxygen in the drying chamber. The tree, despite the high temperature, does not ignite, it is like “baked”.
The
technology includes the following steps:
·
Traditional drying of lumber for 20
days;
· Standard
heat treatment for 1 day;
· Thermal
modification - 3 days;
· Cooling
- 2 days.
After such
drying, lumber is suitable for use in the most adverse conditions.
Heat
treatment - an alternative to chemical protection methods
If the wood is treated by impregnation, covered with paint, and then with varnish, then it is possible to obtain a material similar in properties to thermowood. However, naturalness will be lost. Any "chemicals" - an undesirable neighbor in the homes where allergic persons and children, as well as in health and resort facilities.
Due to the
harmfulness of chemically treated wood to health and the environment, since
2004, the European Union has banned its use. Foreign manufacturers have become
more active in introducing the thermal modification process into mass
production. A thermal board is a “roasted” board almost until it dries out, as
a result of which its cellular structure is different. A wood loses its
inherent flaws without the help of unwanted synthetic reagents and remains
ecologically clean and hygienically neutral.
Drying
quality indicators:
· Residual
moisture 5%;
· Humidity
spread over the stack is not more than 1%;
· Moisture
fluctuation in thickness and length of boards up to 1%.
When water
drops on the profile from a thermowood, it does not lead and does not warp. In
comparison with the usual linden or alder, the rate of absorption is 5 times
lower. The capillary structure of wood, destroyed during the heat treatment
process, prevents the boards from swelling even in a wet room. The surface of
the boards is very dense, without pores. The color of the cuts is the same
throughout the depth of the material, which is not achieved by any aggressive
impregnation or paint. Shades - from almost black to golden. As a result of
continuous multi-stage and complex process technology, a spectacular, stylish,
versatile building material with a wide range of applications and a long
service life appears.
Thermowood
- the material of the future.
Thermowood
is a new building material. It has not yet succeeded in replacing the
old-timers of the construction site - the usual wood profile, boards, and wall
paneling. But where the environment dictates increased demands, thermotree no
longer has competitors.
Thermowood
is the best option for:
· Trim
balconies and loggias;
· Boarding,
garden covering ;
· Boards
and decoration elements of boats, yachts;
· Terraces
of a country house;
· External
wooden facades;
· Durable
fences;
· Elements
of landscape design.
Thermolinden
is widely used for interior trim of various premises, but first of all, steam
rooms, baths, saunas. Benches made of thermowood are comfortable and hygienic,
the floor - durable. Stylish dark color
in a wide range of shades allows you to create interesting interiors.
We offer a wide range of wall panels, timber and
corners from thermolinden, thermopine, thermoalder, good service and loyal
prices. Regular customers and wholesale customers are provided with a flexible
system of discounts and preferences.
