Finnforest presents this thermal operation on Thermo Wood which is based on a method using by Vikings around 1000 years ago. Burning or heating timber makes its life longer and we have learnt this from the Viking's experience! Finnforest had improved this idea and makes it clearer today.
Timber is a wonderful material to work with, aesthetic and suitable for many purposes. Its llively qualities, however, make it very changeable. It matures and "moves" as it absorbs and gives off moisture. We tame its independence and make wood into a reliable partner. The Thermowood process heats hardwood for 50 to 90 hours at temperatures, which for a short time can reach up to 220°C. This so alters its cellular structure that uptake of water, and thereby the moisture content of the timber, is significantly reduced. Expansion and contraction are reduced by up to 70%. Bacteria and fungi that break wood down lose their basic food because hemicellulose "a short-chain carbohydrate building block" is broken down. Thermal treatment makes the timber last considerably longer and gives it much greater dimensional stability. Exotic new colourways impart a special flair to the timber. And this is achieved completely naturally "using only heat, instead of chemical processes."
• Greater dimensional stability
• Interesting new colourways
• Greater resistance to weathering and ould
• Indigenous timber from renewable forests
CLASSIFICATION
In Europe, timber products are classified into 5 groups according to its resistance. One can clearly distinguish Finnforest ThermoWood from others. Technical Specialties Class 1 t>180 °C : This can be applied on places which have a risk of deformation and are used especially for furniture, base covering, building saunas. Class 2 t> 210 °C : It is resistant to corrosion and are used in places like garden furniture, park and garden hedges, door, windows. It has less bending and pulling than normal timber. Class 3 t> 230 °C : This has a low corrosion risk, and hence it can be used on soil. It has a lower corrosion risk than normal timber and there is also no fracture risk. It is not advisable to use it on sensitive surfaces. ARMSTONE
Support Flooring Systems are produced with standards of TS 213, DIN 18500, BS-in an atmosphere pressure by automatic presses (marble and granite are used as a main material in the production process) and extra calibration tests are also applied. SUPPORT ROCKWOOL SYSTEMS
