Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood
Naturally modified wood with supernatural performance.
The science behind the product:
Thermal Modification changes the chemical structure of the wood. The process changes both the physical and biological properties of wood, hindering its ability to reabsorb moisture. Additionally, through the transformation process, the sugars found in the wood are converted into a natural substance that cannot be digested by insects and that does not contribute to fungus or mold growth.
The results of the modification give Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood significant advantages against the elements:
- Outstanding dimension stability – This greatly reduces the woods natural tendency to warp, cup and shrink
- Durability – Excellent performance against the elements
- Natural resistance to rot and decay
- Exceptional performance with paints/stains/glues due to the low moisture content (can be painted or stained immediately)
- Attractive golden brown color with Pine and dark tones with hardwood species
Evolutions Thermally Modified Wood has been successfully used throughout Europe for years.
