Thermo ash terrace board AB 21x132x2100 certified

Highest quality thermo ash decking boards

Thermo ash decking boards have a huge advantage, it is the highest quality of boards, which require minimal long-term maintenance. A wonderfully soft surface that does not warp at all even when exposed to weather conditions. Due to its extremely high durability, thermo ash wood also has its own color, which is very similar to the colors of “Exotic Wood”. In addition, it is knot-free and has a deep, rich shade.

Terrace thermal board

Thermal wood for terraces is not only environmentally friendly, but also resistant to woodworm and rot. Terrace thermal board is characterized by stability, sustainability and durability, immunity to environmental factors, and withstands large changes in humidity and temperature. Thanks to the authentic processing technology used, thermal ash decking boards gain an aesthetic advantage. Thermally treated boards are less likely to split and warp than other types of boards that are popular in our region.

Thermally treated wood is suitable for many construction projects. Indoors, it can be used for wall or ceiling cladding, floors, and saunas. It is suitable for use outdoors for facades, terraces, and the production of doors and windows.

Origin of thermo ash boards

MDS terasos offers certified thermowood. We are the representatives of the Finnish company HJT 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 the principles of financially, ecologically and socially sustainable forestry. Reliable quality Finnish production and excellent knowledge of raw materials are the main guarantees of quality in the field of thermal processing of products. HJT is one of the oldest and most experienced thermowood manufacturers in Europe. It is a family business, passed down from generation to generation. Many years of experience, patented production technology and the best raw materials from reliable partners ensure the quality of HJT products.

Thermomodification technology

During heat treatment, the temperature of the wood is first raised above 215 °C, and then returned to normal temperature. The treatment lasts from 1.5 to 3 days and is regulated using hot air and water vapor. The structure of the wood changes, and it is removeds water and extracts such as resin (terpenes). The thermal treatment process changes the structure of the wood, increasing the resistance of the decking boards to external factors. The reaction to changes in humidity in the environment is reduced, regardless of changing weather conditions, the shape of the thermal ash decking board for the terrace remains stable.

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

Advantages of Finnish-made thermowood boards

MDS terraces Finnish partners, using only natural methods, thermally modify the highest quality Scandinavian wood, which will last for decades. The most important feature of thermowood boards is dimensional stability, which allows for the creation of reliable construction projects that give spaces a Nordic luxury and naturalness.

Dimensional stability

Smooth thermal terrace board is stable: it does not split, warp, curl or “walk” like other types of wood, such as exotic hardwoods. It perfectly retains its shape, color and softness.

Longevity

The best raw material and non-toxic thermal fashionidentification process makes thermowood ideal construction material even and themselves for the most demanding for projects, ensures products longevity. The properties of thermally treated wood improve as cellulose, a protein, burns out during the treatment process, so thermal ash decking boards do not rot and the decking becomes more durable. This is important in the unstable and rather harsh climate of Lithuania.

Sustainability

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

Aesthetics and sensory characteristics

The appeal of thermowood panels also manifests itself through aesthetics and sensory characteristics: natural smell, pleasant tactile sensation and acoustic properties. These advantages of thermowood panels provide opportunities to increase comfort in construction projects. The fact that these boards do not warp and have no ridges is a very important advantage for terrace owners who have children and animals.

Color darkness

Heat treatment improves both the properties and appearance of the wood. Beautiful brown color gives it a stylized image. Ash thermal wood for terraces has a rich brown color, which depends on the temperature during the treatment process – the higher it is, the darker the color.

Quality class

This terrace thermal 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.
AB type decking boards are a mixture of A and B type boards (ratio A – 70%, B – 30%).
If you are looking for stable, high-quality wood for your terrace, choose thermo ash terrace boards.

Processing class

TermoD wood treatment class means that ash wood is heated to 212°C and is suitable for use in indoor and outdoor applications.

Installation

The MDS terrace expert team recommends installing ash terrace boards using screw foundations, the CAMO invisible fastening system, and A2 and A4 wood screws.

Our customers have already tested and proven mounting systems for this board:

• CAMO EDGEX CLIP invisible fasteners;
• CAMO EDGE CLIP invisible fasteners.

Maintenance

For aesthetic appearance and to maintain the color of thermo ash decking boards, we recommend coating the surface with WOCA EXRERIOR OIL pigmented oil (there are 13 colors in the color range, one of which is natural). MDS terraces recommends renewing the decking boards every year (depending on operating conditions and the direction of installation of the deck).
