Introduction: The Rise of Thermo Wood in Modern Architecture
Sustainable architecture is redefining how we use natural materials, and thermo wood — also known as thermally modified wood (TMW) — is leading that revolution.
Thermo wood undergoes a special heat-treatment process that enhances its durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to decay — all without chemicals. This makes it an ideal choice for architects, designers, builders, and homeowners who seek long-lasting, natural wood aesthetics with eco-friendly performance.
What is Thermo Wood?
Thermo wood (or thermowood) is wood that has been heat-treated at 180°C–230°C in a controlled environment with steam.
This eco-friendly thermal modification process changes the wood’s internal structure, making it more durable and dimensionally stable.
Unlike chemically treated timber, thermo wood is completely natural and sustainable — safe for indoor and outdoor use.
The Thermo Wood Manufacturing Process
- Heating – The wood is slowly heated to remove moisture, changing its composition and strengthening the fibers.
- Thermal Modification – At around 200°C, the wood’s sugars are altered, reducing its ability to absorb moisture or attract fungi.
- Cooling and Conditioning – The wood is then cooled and stabilized to achieve its final, long-lasting form.
