Structural timber
Thermal lags for terraces made of pine are structural 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 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
Thermo-engineered wood 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.
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.
Longevity
The properties of thermally treated wood improve as cellulose – protein – burns out during the treatment process, so thermal pine lags do not rot. The terrace frame and terrace become 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.
