Product information

Additional details

Bring the timeless beauty and unbeatable performance of Thermo Oak wood to your next project. This innovative thermally modified wood takes durable oak lumber and enhances it through Raman Timber's proprietary heat treatment process.

The Thermal Modification Process

Premium oak logs are carefully selected and milled into high-quality lumber to create Thermo Oak wood. The boards then undergo our exclusive thermal modification, where they are heated to precisely controlled temperatures.

This heat treatment process causes a remarkable transformation in the physical properties and appearance of the oak wood:

  • Increased dimensional stability and resistance to moisture/rot
  • Richer, deeper brown tones with varying streaks
  • Longer lasting durability and lifespan

Yet this is an eco-friendly, chemical-free process that simply unlocks and enhances the wood's natural properties without adding any toxins or treatments.

Application

Thanks to the thermal modification, Thermo Oak wood exhibits exceptional dimensional stability and resistance to moisture issues like warping, cupping, and cracking that plague untreated wood over time. Its improved rot and decay resistance also make it an ideal choice for extremely durable exterior applications such as:

  • Decking and patio furniture
  • Siding and exterior trim
  • Windows, doors and shutters
  • Outdoor kitchens and structures

Thermo Oak wood's enhanced durability means these products require less maintenance and can last for decades, even when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions and temperature extremes.

Aesthetics

While its performance is unmatched, Thermo Oak really shines when it comes to stunning aesthetics. The thermal process unlocks a luxurious range of rich brown tones and distinctive streaking patterns in the oak wood.

This gives Thermo Oak wood products a beautifully warm yet rustic look loaded with natural character and variation. Thermo Oak's unique appearance suits many interior uses like furniture, cabinetry, flooring, architectural accents and more. The colors are stable and do not require staining.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is thermo oak?

Thermo oak is a type of oak wood that has been heat-treated to improve its properties. The thermofication process involves heating the oak wood to a high temperature (around 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit) for a period of time, followed by cooling.

Is thermowood a hardwood or softwood?

Thermowood can be made from both hardwoods and softwoods. The thermofication process alters the properties of the wood, regardless of its original species.

For example, thermo ash is made from ash, a hardwood, while thermowood can also be made from pine, a softwood.
