Thermo pine plank
Used for roofs and other light building structures. Thermo pine beam 40x68x5700 for terrace frame . This structural wood beam is resistant to load and environmental factors.
Thermo wood
Thermowood for terraces is wood treated with steam and heat at a temperature of 180-215°C. The thermal treatment process changes the structure of the wood, increasing the resistance of terrace beams to external factors. The reaction to changes in humidity in the environment is reduced, regardless of changing weather conditions, the shape of the thermowood terrace beam remains stable.
The most significant effects of heat treatment on pine wood are: dimensional stability, color darkness, and durability.
Dimensional stability
Thermowood is stable: it does not split, warp, warp, or “walk” like other types of wood, such as hardwoods. It retains its shape and color perfectly.
Longevity
The properties of thermally treated wood improve as cellulose, a protein, burns out during the treatment process, so thermal pine lags do not rot and the terrace becomes more durable. This is relevant in the unstable and rather harsh climate of Lithuania.
Installation
The MDS terrace expert team recommends using thermal pine logs for the installation of lightweight building structures.
