Every m3 of wood used as a substitute for another material can save a total of 2 tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere Moreover, it is our responsibility to guarantee a type of development based on resource renewal and environmental protection. Consequently, we actively promote the use of wood from PEFC forests. PEFC certification guarantees sustainable forest management. FSC PEFC" These certifications...

HEAT TREATMENT Heat-treated wood is a sustainable, economic and environmentally friendly solution involving wood for outdoor use, as the treatment does not involve using any chemical and biological product. The treatment is performed by placing the material in a chamber with an oxygen-free atmosphere at high temperatures for several hours. This process will always vary according to the type of wood, the necessary properties and the parts' sizes.

The use of a balanced combination of high temperature and vapour, for several hours, transforms wood at the chemical and structural level. Did you know that ...?Natural wood contains biological agents such as xylophages, insects that feed on the wood and on the mould living in it.

Temperature, pressure and vapour While it may seem like 240ºC would char wood, the delicate and precise balance with water vapour and atmospheric pressure make heat treatment a completely safe process. Just wood, nothing else Created by Barracuda from the Noun Project The process completely does away with xylophages, moulds, residual moisture in the wood, as well as the resins it could contain; all that is left are inert wood fibres. Slowly but surely Time is a key factor in the process, as the appropriate duration allows the temperature and vapour to reach the centre of the wooden parts. Depending...

The heat treatment endows the heat-treated wood with high outdoor resistance properties. years from THERMO PINE AUTO CLAVE Use Class 4 Did you know that ...?Material fatigue is a physical phenomenon caused by dimensional changes through contraction and dilation. In the case of wood, this occurs through moisture gain and loss, even bringing about changes in dimensions, strains, warps... The heat treatment results in significantly increased resistance to wear from material fatigue, largely surpassing use class 4 products.

Improved dimensional stability Up to 50% more dimensional stability, as this is not affected by changes in moisture, while internal tensions are reduced. Greater thermal insulation Up to 25% greater thermal insulation, as its thermal conductivity is reduced. Greater uniformity Greater colour uniformity - a golden brown shade - across the entire product range, with a very smooth surface finish.

Using a natural process, with no chemicals of any kind, we have eliminated everything that affects product durability and have left the structure, for longer-lasting results. This is a useful treatment for outdoor claddings, for decks, walls and ceilings.

Chemical-free Only a special kiln is used for controlling water vapour density inside the wood, thus preventing it from becoming deformed and stained. Resin-free At temperatures exceeding 200ºC, resin components vaporise. This makes it more fireresistant while preventing the moulds that occur in untreated wood. Moisture-free Not only have we reduced the product's moisture by up to 50%, but we have also protected the wood, making it resistant to moisture absorption. This prevents deformities brought about by moisture changes.

TECHNICAL FEATURES Pine belongs to the conifer family, characterised by resinous woods, with marked annual rings and a soft, uniform pale colour. Every wood piece shows a typically distinct pattern that enhances its natural beauty. Heat treatment not only affects the wood's molecular structure, but also permanently alters some of its properties: The wood darkens while homogenising its colour, in both sapwood and heartwood. The wood's mechanical properties are reduced in its new chemical composition. In other words, it is not as elastic and bends less; therefore, we need to place the battens at...
