Thermowood Contemporary Fencing Elements Battens / Slats 20mm
Thermowood fencing is a type of wooden fence made from thermally modified timber. It is produced by subjecting sustainably sourced softwood, typically pine or spruce, to a controlled heat treatment process. This thermal modification enhances the wood’s durability, stability, and resistance to decay, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications like fencing.
One of the primary advantages of thermowood fencing is its increased dimensional stability. The heat treatment reduces the wood’s ability to absorb and release moisture, making it less prone to warping, shrinking, or swelling. This stability ensures that the fence retains its shape and structural integrity even in changing weather conditions.
Thermowood fencing also exhibits enhanced resistance to decay, insects, and fungal attacks. The thermal modification process alters the wood’s chemical composition, reducing its susceptibility to biological degradation. This feature significantly extends the lifespan of the fence, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
