Thermowood: Durable, Sustainable & Versatile Wood Solution

Fujian Qinchao Wood Technology Co., Ltd. produces thermowood through a precise and controlled high-temperature treatment process. The process begins with selecting high-quality raw wood, which is then placed in a specialized oven or chamber. Inside the chamber, the wood is subjected to elevated temperatures, typically ranging from 180 to 230 degrees Celsius, in an oxygen-limited environment. This temperature range is crucial as it modifies the wood’s cellular structure without causing combustion. The process also involves the use of steam to maintain the right humidity levels, preventing the wood from drying out too quickly and cracking. During the treatment, the heat causes chemical changes in the wood, breaking down hemicellulose and modifying the lignin, which are responsible for the wood’s structure and properties. This results in improved dimensional stability, durability, and resistance to decay and insects. After the treatment, the wood is gradually cooled and conditioned to ensure it reaches the desired moisture content. The entire process is carefully monitored to ensure consistency and quality, resulting in thermowood that meets the highest standards.
