Pine thermal lags for terraces, roofs and other lightweight building structures
Thermo pine beam 40x68x6000 for terrace frame . This structural wood beam is resistant to load and environmental factors.
Thermo wood
Pine thermal lags for terraces are 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 the terrace lags to external factors. The reaction to changes in humidity in the environment is reduced, regardless of changing weather conditions, the shape of the thermal pine terrace lag 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.
