If you are going to build a wooden cafe, hotel, social facility for your wooden house, villa, log house, bungalow or business, the first thing that comes to your mind is the problems you will experience due to the deformation of the wood over time.
Developing technology produces solutions to all these questions. Thanks to the thermowood process, wood; it is made longer lasting and more resistant to weather conditions and usage conditions. Moreover, no chemicals are used during this process…
What is Termowood and what does this process do?
Thermowood is the heat treatment of resurrected wood materials, measured for use in required areas, in highly insulated huge furnaces from 180⁰C to 220⁰C.
In order not to crack the wood materials subjected to heat treatment, they are also released into the oven with steam. Thus, while the amount of moisture in the tree is pushed towards zero, it allows the chemical and harmful substances in the tree to come out.
It has been determined that there is no problem of rotation, cracking and warping for much longer periods on the surfaces where the light-treated woods are used.
Thanks to the thermowood process, wood-specific defects are eliminated. Generally, thermowood applied tree species; The process can be applied to any tree species, although Pine, Ash, Ayous, Spruce and Iroko.
What kind of change occurs in the wood after the applied process?
It becomes resistant to rot, cracking and rotation.
· It increases its resistance against climatic conditions.
· Reduces thermal conductivity, provides protection against cold and heat.
· It is 100% natural and free of chemicals.
· Humidity is minimized.
· Resined.
So, should this process be used in all areas?
This process, which is made to make it more resistant to climate and usage conditions, should be used mostly on exterior surfaces and floors. Because while thermowood process makes the wood more durable and long-lasting, it actually kills the living structure of the wood. For this reason, we do not recommend the thermowood process to keep the wood healthier and livelier on interior surfaces. However, if you are not going to use it as a private living space but as a business, it can also be used indoors on floors.
Of course, this process is done on demand as it increases the budget. For instance; If the square meter price of a wooden house is 3.500 TL, 2.000-2.500 TL per cubic meter is added to this price. (Prices are given as an example, you can contact us for current price information.
If you want to live in a healthier, durable and long-lasting house, this price difference will actually make you profit in the long run. Since wood is a living material, it will definitely crack and stretch over time.
