Wooden structures have become very popular due to their unique beauty, sense of nature, environmental friendliness, and modern design. In almost all modern buildings, you can see one or more wooden structures that have a positive effect on the interior or exterior design of the building. Thermowood shade is one of these wooden structures that are generally used to prevent sunlight in villas, balconies, and roof gardens. In this article, we introduce Thermowood shade and its benefits.
Thermowood (also known as heat-modified wood, heat-treated wood, or thermowood) is a term used to describe wood products that have been heating treated to improve strength and durability. The process of exposing wood to extreme temperatures (around 200 degrees Celsius) is a completely natural process that removes all moisture from the wood.
When wood is heat treated in this way, its resilience and improved structure make it an ideal material for a variety of construction and outdoor furniture projects. In this article, we examine what you can expect from this unique material.
Thermowood is formed when all the moisture in the wood evaporates. To do this, the wood is placed in a chamber and exposed to extreme heat for several hours. The temperature ranges from 185 to 212 degrees Celsius, heating the wood and then rapidly cooling it again.
All OH (hydroxyl) and H2O (water) are removed from the wood cells during this process. Hydroxyls typically draw free water cells into the wood, destabilizing it. Removing these groups makes for a much more stable and resilient product. In addition, not using resin also helps to leave a beautiful finish.
