Thermally modified wood (colloquial: thermowood) is wood that is heated at high temperatures (approx. 180-200°C) in order to obtain new beneficial properties. No chemicals are used during thermal modification, which means that the process is 100% ecological.
The first production was carried out by the Scandinavians, who used thermally modified wood to make saunas. In Poland, the beginnings of thermowood have their place in the production of garden elements, terrace boards, and finally, floor boards. Parkiety Jabłoński is one of the first Polish companies to introduce the thermal modification process to its offer. Thermo oak and thermo ash are products recommended for installation on underfloor heating, which was confirmed by research of the Building Research Institute - years of experience and research have allowed our company to achieve high stability of solid wood regardless of changes in temperature or humidity, and the wood's resistance to water has also increased. During the tremoring process at high temperatures, all microelements contained in the boards die and the wood itself becomes resistant to fungi and insects. Another change that occurs during the process is the color change of the wood throughout its entire cross-section. To obtain a darker color, the temperature of the water vapor in the chamber is increased, which is responsible for all changes, and the entire heating process is extended.
