What is ThermoWood®?
ThermoWood® is a patented brand created by the International ThermoWood® Association. It specifies the natural preservation process to transform 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 350-1)
Consistent quality due to standardized treatment
As a member of the International ThermoWood® Association, our standardized process is identical to the Finnish process, which sets the gold standard of all thermal treatments. Twice a year, we are audited by a Notified Body to maintain a high quality.

Timber dries and moisture content decreases.
Kiln is kept at a steady temperature to modify the wood.
Temperature is lowered and the moisture content is increased with steam and water.
The ThermoWood® process, a part of
Our firm’s DNA
LDCwood® ThermoWood® is the result of connecting two concepts, with the thoughtful sourcing of our wood on the one hand, and the efficient preservation of it on the other. This is where we perfectly align our logistical strength with the advanced technology behind our 6 kilns.
Our operators’ minds
Our philosophy is to let the wood direct the process, not the process direct the wood. Our Thermo Technicians, like the world’s most accomplished bakers, take on their job with the utmost attention to detail to achieve the perfect finished product, everytime.
When exposed to weather without surface treatment, ThermoWood® products remain significantly drier than unmodified timber. In warm and humid climates, it is recommended to surface treat against humidity, erosion, and UV radiation. In conclusion, Thermo-D ThermoWood® survives even the most extreme weather conditions.
LDCwood® products are all Thermo-D, the most durable ThermoWood® with resistance to decay and weather.
