Thermally Modified Wood is referring to a wood which is modified by a controlled pyrolysis process. In this process, the wood is heated up to 180°Celcius, in the absence of oxygen. This process helps the chemical to change its cell structure of cell wall components in the wood in order to increase its durability. During this process, the low oxygen content prevents the wood from burning even at the high temperature. There are five thermal modification processes: Thermowood, Retification Process, Les Bois Perdure, Plato Process, and Oil Heat Treatment.
Thermal modification uses heat to remove organic compounds from the wood cells, so it will not absorb water, expand, contract, or provide nourishment for insects or fungi. The high heat produces a naturally durable wood that is permanently resistant to water, insects, and decay. Because the wood is not absorbing chemicals to be treated, but rather removing moisture, the wood is lightweight.
Thermally modified lumber is also more dimensionally stable because it is less susceptible to cupping and warping. The wood has increased heat resistance and weather resistance as well. When properly maintained, it will not chip, rot, or warp over the years. Many products offered in this category are rated for 20 or 25 years of exterior use.
This thermally modified wood is eco-friendly since harsh chemicals are never used in the development of this product. Unlike pressure-treated lumber, it will not corrode metals. As previously mentioned, it is also dimensionally stable with incredible durability.
Since thermally modified wood does not absorb or hold moisture as it would prior to treatment, species that typically do not perform well in outdoor or wet environments can now be used in a variety of applications, such as decking, siding, or flooring. It can also be used in environments that are less stable in moisture content, such as basements (with proper sub-flooring).
Currently, there are many players in the market of Thermally Modified Wood, Stora Enso, Thermory AS, Oy Lunawood Ltd, Oy SWM-Wood Ltd and Thermoarena OÜ are playing important roles in Thermally Modified Wood Boards industry. Top three players took 44% market value share in 2019, the market is not so concentrated for now and is seeing to be more dispersed.
