THERMOWOOD® REDWOOD CLADDING

A thermally modified softwood specifically designed for exterior cladding, decking and fencing applications

PROPERTIES

Thermowood® redwood is thermally modified softwood which has been heat treated to over 200°C using a completely natural and non-toxic method. This results in a material which has been especially engineered for cladding applications to achieve enhanced performance in exterior environments, while retaining the beauty of traditional timber.  It is great as a cladding façade on buildings, plus decking and fencing applications.

Thermowood® redwood contains small to medium, frequent knots and has a warm, rich brown colour. If left untreated, the boards will weather to a silvery grey, similar to cedar and larch.

More stable than traditional timber, Thermowood® redwood doesn’t bend, twist or warp. With minimal water absorption and less water content, it is lightweight and very dry in nature which makes it resistant to decay, fungi and insect damage. In addition, being dry gives Thermowood® redwood a very smooth finish for precision machining.

Always seek advice about treatment and after-care to preserve the aesthetics and style you want for your cladding in the longer-term.
