HEAT Treatment The heat treatment of wood is a high-technology process, that can be applicable to all kinds of wood. It consists in heating the wood at a temperature between 180°C and 230°C in order to modify its chemical and mechanical features. The treatment is 100% eco-friendly, non-hygroscopic, stable, weatherproof and insect, mould and parasite resistant without resorting to chemical products or demanding maintenance. After this kind of treatment the wood turns darker. The heat-treated wood is perfect for external applications such as paneling, frames and windows, garden furniture, street furniture, flooring, nautical details, bathroom fitting, baths, swimming pool-sides, saunas etc.
