Thermo-modified Ash allows improving several key characteristics of natural ash, including moisture resistance, biological stability, and ability to preserve geometric dimensions. The thermal modification does reduce mechanical characteristics of ash but transforms wood color throughout to a rich, reddish brown.

Benefits of Thermo-Ash:

• Extended longevity – over 30 years if used outdoors;

• Moisture resistance – average moisture content is 3 times less than that of untreated wood.

• Ecologically clean – only heat and water are used during the thermo-modification process.

• Dimensional stability – the severity of cupping and warping as a result of external humidity fluctuations are 2.5 times lower than that of untreated wood.

• Visual appeal – the color acquired as a direct result of the thermal modification is a fast-growing trend in both interior and exterior design. An additional application of decorative and protective finishes further expands the range of potential designer uses.

• Easy restoration – thermo-modified wood has a uniform color throughout the depth of the plank, which allows to undertake spot repairs and resand with ease.
