Thermally modified Scandinavian pine decking board AB 26x117x4200 certified

Thermo pine wood

Thermo pine wood is not only environmentally friendly, but also resistant to woodworm and rot. Thermal pine boards are characterized by stability, sustainability and durability, immunity to environmental factors, withstand large changes in humidity and temperature. Due to the authentic processing technology used, thermal pine boards gain an aesthetic advantage. Thermally treated boards are less prone to cracking and chipping than other types of boards that are popular in our country.

Thermo pine wood is suitable for many construction projects. Indoors, it can be used for wall or ceiling cladding, floors and baths. Outdoors, it is suitable for facades, terraces, and the production of doors and windows.

Origin of Thermo Pine Boards

MDS Terraces offers certified Scandinavian thermal wood. We are representatives of the Finnish company HJT products in Lithuania.
Manufacturer’s origin: Finland (certified Finotrol-PEFC-COC-1505)
Certified wood: PEFC ST 2002:2013

HJT specializes in the production and further processing of thermally treated wood, aiming to meet consumer needs and adhere to financially, environmentally, and socially sustainable forestry principles. Reliable quality Finnish production and excellent knowledge of the raw material are the main quality guarantors in the heat treatment of products. HJT is one of the oldest and most experienced manufacturers of thermal media in Europe. It’s a family business, passed down from generation to generation. Years of experience, patented production technology, and the best raw materials from reliable partners ensure the quality of HJT products.

Thermal Modification Technology

During heat treatment, the wood temperature is first raised above 215 °C and then returned to normal temperature. The treatment takes between 1.5 and 3 days and is regulated using hot air and steam. The wood structure changes, removingwater and extracts such as resin (terpenes). Under the influence of the heat treatment process, the structure of the wood changes, and the resistance of terrace boards to external factors increases. The reaction to changes in humidity in the environment is reduced, regardless of changing weather conditions, the shape of the thermal pine terrace board remains stable.

The effects of heat treatment on pine wood are most evident: dimensional stability, color darkness, and durability.

Benefits of Thermo Wood Boards Made in Finland

MDS Terasos Finnish partners, using only natural methods, thermally modify the best quality Scandinavian wood that will last for decades. The most important characteristic of thermowood boards is dimensional stability, which allows us to create reliable building projects that give spaces a Nordic luxury and natural feel.

Dimensional stability

A smooth thermal board is stable: it does not crack, it does not warp, it does not “walk” like other types of wood, such as hardwoods. It perfectly retains its shape and color.

Longevity

The best Scandinavian raw materials and non-toxic thermal modification process make thermowood an ideal construction material even and the most demanding projects, ensures product longevity. The properties of thermally treated wood are improved by burning the cellulose – protein during the treatment process, so thermal pine boards do not rot and the terrace becomes more durable. This is relevant in the unstable and rather harsh climate of Lithuania.

Sustainability

Thermally modified wood products made in Finland are awarded the highest quality PEFC certificates. Sustainability is paramount – from sourcing wood and responsible production (no chemicals used in manufacturing) to the final product with a long life cycle.

Aesthetics and Sensory Characteristics

The attractiveness of thermo-wood boards is also reflected in their aesthetics and sensory characteristics: natural smell, pleasant tactile feel and acoustic properties. These advantages of thermowood boards offer the potential to increase comfort in construction projects. The fact that these boards don’t splinter and have no knots is a significant advantage for terrace owners raising children and pets.

Color darkness

Heat treatment improves both the properties and the appearance of the wood. Beautiful brown colour gives it a stylized appearance. Thermo pine for terraces features a rich brown color that depends on the temperature during the treatment process – the higher it is, the darker the color.

Quality class

This thermo pine decking board belongs to the AB quality class. It is a type of wood that meets high quality standards. Read more in the “Quality Description” section.

Type AB decking boards are a mixture of type A and type B boards (ratio A – 70%, B – 30%).

If you are looking for stable, high-quality wood for your terrace, choose thermal terrace boards of northern pine.

Processing class

The TermoD wood treatment class means that Nordic pine wood is heated up to 212°C and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Mounting

The MDS Terrace expert team recommends installing pine terrace boards using screw foundations, the CAMO invisible fastening system and Protech wood screws .

Supervision

For the aesthetic appearance and to maintain the color of the thermal pine terrace boards, we recommend covering the surface with WOCA EXTERIOR OIL with pigment (the color range includes 13 colors, one of which is natural). MDS terraces recommends renewing the terrace boards every year (depending on the operating conditions and the direction of the terrace installation).
