Thermal Radiata Pine
During the production of Thermal Radiata Pine, high-tech computer-controlled ovens are being used, in which the wood is exposed to temperatures of approximately 230 degrees Celsius. This process ensures the structure of the wood to change, as a result of which the durability and stability is significantly increased. Furthermore, thermal modification provides the wood with a splendid deep dark-brown colour. The expected lifespan is even 30 years.
