Thermally Modified

Thermalized Products

Real wood baked at high heat in a sealed oven - it uses only heat and steam in the modification process, with no chemical preservatives added. The heat improves the wood's dimensional stability and its resistance to moisture, decay, and insects compared to untreated wood, and reduces routine maintenance. The color is built in during baking, so you choose your tone up front and it largely stays that way.

Pros

  • Excellent dimensional stability - far less swelling, shrinking, and warping than untreated wood
  • Improved resistance to moisture, decay, and insects
  • Modified with heat and steam only - no chemical preservatives added
  • Rich, even color straight through the board, so cut edges still match

Considerations

  • Color is set by the heat process in a limited range of warm browns - stain and paint will not change it
  • Needs a periodic clear oil finish to hold its tone; left unfinished it weathers to silver-gray
  • Slightly more brittle than untreated wood, so panels call for careful handling
  • Its warm, modern aesthetic is a defined look that fits some door styles better than others
