Thermal Modification Technology

Thermal Modification is a process in which the chemical properties of wood are modified with heat and steam. The minimum modification temperature is 160°C. The changes in the wood structure are permanent. Thermal treatment reduces the water content of wood while also increasing its resistance to rot, decay and insect damage. It also reduces shrinkage and swelling, while increasing stability of the wood.  Thermally modified wood is more durable, environmentally friendly and long-lasting.

Easy to Install

Because of its lighter density and weight , especially in applications like cladding and soffits, self-drilling trim-head screws, nails and pneumatic fasteners penetrate the fiber more easily.

Eliminating fastener penetration, the hidden Pro Clad Clip System further extends the service life of wood cladding. Like naturally durable hardwoods, stainless steel fasteners are recommended for Thermotech modified wood products in delivering a service life consistent with naturally durable hardwoods.
