INTERIORS & EXTERIORS TECHNICAL DATASHEET

ThermoWood is a product which is manufactured using a special high temperature kilning process which has been developed in Finland. Scientifically heat treatment of wood has been studied by Stamm and Hansen in the 1930's in Germany and by White in the 1940's in the United States. In the 1950's Germans Bavendam, Runkel & Bum continued research on the subject. Kollman & Schneider have published their findings in the 1960's and Rusche and Burmester in the 1970's. In the 1990's the most intensive and comprehensive studies has been conducted by VTT in Finland. The Thermowood process method has been...

Phase 3. Cooling and moisture conditioning: The final stage is to lower the temperature down using water spray systems.Once the temperature has reached 80-90 gC re-moisturising and conditioning takes place to bring the wood moisture content to a useable level between %4-6.

novawood novathermowood TEMPERATURE HEATING 210°C 212°C COOLING TIME (HOUR) Basic Specifications As a result of the ThermoWood process the stability is increased compared to regular wood. Due to structural changes of the wood withhigh heat treatment the interial stress has been reduced. Also thanks to the Thermowood process the equilibrium moisture content and permeability of the wood has been reduced. As a fact, the working and twisting tendency compared to regular wood has been minimized. During the Thermowood process the biological durability of novaThermowood products are being increased...

nova wood novathermowood The Thermowood process does not protect the materials from algae and fungus on the surface. These oranism's feed (%23 humidity and over)from the environment and does not cause any structural changes on novaThermowood products. The algae on the surface which can be seen as an esthetic clause can be easily prevented with the surface treatment (such as wood preservative oil,water baised varnish)

Service Life Compared to regular wood, novaThermowood are %80 more efficient for outdoor usage. The swelling and shrinkage behaviour of the wood has been minimized and rotting has been prevented by natural transactions. novaThermowood products are nature and human friendly. The durability of novaThermowood products are as per European norms EN 350 ve EN 335-1. TMT has certified that novaThermowood Ash products has a biological durability of minimum 25 years as per CEN/TS 15083-1:2005 technical norms in case of a direct touch to the ground and According to EN 113 norms tested by VTT,it has been...

nova wood novathermowood The denisity of novaThermowood Ash products are 623 kg/m3 with a humidity content of 4,3 -6% in 20°C environmental degree with %65 relative humidity. The weight density of novaThermowood Pine products are in between 350 -480 kg/m3. This is valid with a humidity content of 4-7% in 20°C environmental degree with %65 relative humidity. It has been examined that nova with a humidity content of 4-6% in 20°C environmental degree with %65 relative humidity, the weight density of Thermowood Iroko products are between 650-675 Note: As novaThermowood products are %100 natural,...

nova wood novathermowood Brinell hardness of novaThermowood Pine products are 15 N/mm2. Brinell hardness of novaThermowood Iroko products are measured as 40 N/mm2 Thermowood process has its own characteristic smell.This smell might not be liked by everyone but the test results of VTT (KET 3300495) has shown that the emissions are not harmful in fresh airs. The test results of TVOC - Total Volatile Organic Compounds has shown that the rates are much lower as compared to regular wood. The smell of Thermowood products may disappear within a few days but with the surface treatment or rain it might...

nova wood novathermowood novaThermowood Ash products gains a dark Brown colour. novaThermowood Pine products gains a Light Brown colour. novaThermowood Iroko products becomes honey-coloured. As a natural product,the colour change of novaThermowood products into silver grey is a natural reflection. This colour change has no effect on the durability of the product. In order to prevent the colour change,the maintenance should be done as mentioned on the maintenance guide. Moisture Content During the packing of novaThermowood products in our factory, the humidity content is in between %4-6.This percentage...

nova wood novathermowood controlled water consumption the natural Resources are protected and any harm is given to the Working with the Product Just like regular woods,novaThermowood products can be cut as well. Considered that the product is more dry than regular wood,always keep in mind that the dust particle size is smaller and easier to fly around. Therefore,it is highly recommended to protect your eyes during the application. novaThermowood products are definitely natural and harmless with any chemicals included. Therefore, there are no materials in novaThermowood products giving harm to...
