Pine thermal lags for terraces, roofs and other light building structures. Thermal pine beam 42x68x4200 for terrace frames . This structural wood beam is resistant to load and environmental factors.
Thermo wood lags
Thermo wood lags for terraces made of pine are wood treated with steam and heat at a temperature of 180-215°C. Under the influence of the heat treatment process, the structure of the wood changes, increasing the resistance of 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 thermo 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 planks are stable: they do not split, warp, warp, or “walk” like other types of wood, such as hardwoods. They retain their 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.
