Question 2

What is exterior thermally modified wood and how is it made?

Accepted Answer

Thermally modified wood is premium solid wood that undergoes a specialized, chemical-free heat and steam treatment. This process alters the wood’s cellular structure, making it highly stable, deeply colored, and incredibly resilient against environmental elements.

Question 3

How does thermal modification protect wood against rot and insects?

Accepted Answer

The high-heat modification process removes natural sugars and moisture from the wood. By eliminating these nutrients, the wood becomes highly resistant to rot, decay, fungi, and wood-boring insects without the use of harsh chemical injections.

Question 4

Can thermally modified wood planks be used for both exterior siding and outdoor ceilings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these solid wood planks are highly versatile. They are engineered for outstanding performance in demanding outdoor applications, making them a premium choice for modern vertical siding, accent walls, soffits, and covered patio ceilings.

Question 5

Does thermally modified wood warp, twist, or expand in outdoor environments?

Accepted Answer

One of the greatest benefits of thermal modification is its superior dimensional stability. Because its moisture-absorbing capacity is permanently reduced, the wood planks experience minimal expansion, contraction, twisting, or warping—even when exposed to extreme humidity and temperature changes.

Question 6

What brands of thermally modified wood do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We proudly supply the industry’s best thermally treated wood products, featuring premium exterior planks from trusted manufacturers including Lunawood and Westwood Millworks. If you are looking for something specific other than these brands, contact us to discuss your needs and we may be able to source or make recommendations.

Question 7

Does exterior thermally modified wood require regular staining or sealing?

Accepted Answer

While the thermal process naturally protects the wood from rot and decay without any coatings, leaving it untreated will cause it to naturally weather into a beautiful silver-grey patina over time due to UV exposure. To preserve the rich, original dark tones of the wood, we recommend applying a UV-inhibiting exterior oil or sealer.
