Thermo-Pine KD smooth – Decking board 26 × 138 mm
The Thermo-Pine decking board impresses with its outstanding combination of natural aesthetics, high durability, and improved dimensional stability. Through a special thermal treatment process, the wood is treated with steam at temperatures of over 200 °C, which specifically optimizes its properties.
Advantages of the Thermo-Pine decking board
Thermally modified: Heat treatment without the use of chemicals in the process.
High dimensional stability: The thermal treatment significantly reduces moisture absorption. This minimizes swelling, shrinking, and warping compared to untreated wood.
Improved durability: The thermal treatment removes nutrients from the wood that wood-destroying fungi and microorganisms feed on. As a result, thermally modified wood is significantly more resistant to rot and biological degradation.
Ideal for outdoor use: Thermo-Pine is specially suited for outdoor use (Thermo-D process). Its service life is significantly increased compared to untreated wood.
Improved thermal insulation: Due to thermal modification, the thermal conductivity of the wood decreases by approx. 20%, making the surface feel more comfortable.
Appearance & Properties
Thermo-Pine is characterized by a warm, brown coloring, which is created by the caramelization of the wood's own sugars. Over time, the wood develops an elegant silver-grey patina – if the surface is left untreated – without losing any of its durability.
The reduced wood moisture (approx. 4–6%) ensures a particularly stable and long-lasting product.
Instructions for installation & care
- Easy to work with, similar to untreated wood
- Use of stainless steel screws recommended
- Regular maintenance (e.g., oiling) preserves the original coloring
- Sufficient distance from the substrate improves durability
The Thermo-Pine decking board is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a long-lasting, dimensionally stable, and sustainable decking solution. It combines natural beauty with technical optimization and is perfect for demanding outdoor areas.
