Thermo Treated Lumber

THERMO TREATED LUMBER

Thermo treated lumber has been dried at 400 degrees F and byusing steam it keeps the wood from burning or cracking. Thermo treatment actually changes themolecular structure of the wood. Thistreatment will enhance the lumbers ability to repel water and makes the woodmore stable. This is a way to help thewood last longer in an outdoor environment such as decking or siding naturallywithout adding chemicals. Thermotreating will darken the color of the wood to rich chocolate color.

The benefits of Thermo treat wood are:

·It is earth friendly, no chemicals are addedonly heat generated (in our case) by using waste wood.

·The dust and waste is non-toxic

·Enhances the color to a warm brown

·Rearranges the structure of the cells so theywill not take on as much moisture and this makes the wood more stable and lastlonger.

·The lumber will be lighter in weight withoutlosing strength

·It disperses heat so compared to compositedecking it will be cooler to walk or sit on.
