So you're
an architect
Would you agree that wood is a magnificent material to work with? As the foundation or great addition to any or all of your designs? We would like to introduce you to the multifaceted ThermoWood®: thermally modified wood with great design abilities, high performance and a low carbon footprint. Feeling inspired yet?
What is ThermoWood®?
ThermoWood® is a patented brand created by the International ThermoWood® Association. It specifies the natural preservation process to transform non-durable wood into a durable product. Through every fiber, the durability class improves from IV or III up to I which implies a lifespan of over 25 years for class I (EN 360-1).
