Functional architectural solutions with natural appeal
The natural beauty, functionality and environmental sustainability of wood are undoubtedly concepts we all cherish. At Thermory we process our timber naturally, using only heat and water vapor, to ensure it can last a long time outdoors. We have created a versatile range of profiles, including some with hidden fixings, as well as a variety of embossed patterns and finishing options and modular solutions to inspire architects and designers to find more ways to use wood in their architectural solutions.

Why thermally modified wood?
Thermally modified wood (thermowood) is the most reliable option if you’re looking for a durable and dimensionally stable material for outdoor conditions. The high temperature of thermal modification changes the structure of the wood, significantly improving its durability and resistance to weather conditions.
The biological resistance of the wood increases as the nutrients in the wood become more difficult to reach for pests and molds.
The wood’s moisture absorption capacity and speed decreases, resulting in reduced moisture deformations. The wood maintains its dimensional stability, meaning that it doesn’t cup, twist or bend as much as other wooden decking products.
Thermal modification leads to less internal stress in the wood, significantly reducing material consumption during construction.
The thermal and sound insulation performance of the wood improves.
Thermal modification also gives the wood a delightful darker tone.
Thermal modification is chemical free.
Thermory Book “Thermory in Architecture”
Thermory in Architecture showcases Thermory’s versatility through a variety of inventive and striking uses of our thermally modified wood products to create attractive cladding, decking, flooring, wall paneling and sauna solutions. In addition, the publication features the extensive cladding, paneling and ready-made sauna ranges offered under our Siparila and Auroom brands, as well as a series of articles that explore themes close to our hearts; including wood quality, the thermal modification process, and the people who make Thermory what it is.
BIM library
Building Information Modeling (BIM) files are digital tools that help architects and designers work with intelligent 3D models. The format has become increasingly common in building design and construction. Thermory’s technical BIM files include Revit, Archicad and material texture files.
Product specifications
Choose the most suitable wood species for your project according to the desired application, required durability rating and appearance. All Thermory cladding and decking boards have undergone intensive thermal modification to ensure durability in changing weather conditions. The wood’s durability rating indicates the rot resistance of the particular species (EN 350:2016), and the highest resistance rating for wood is Class 1 (25+ years). To make installation easier a wide range of fixings are available, some of which are concealed to create a clean, screw-free wood surface. Products with end-matching enable more efficient use of materials so nothing is wasted.
Wood maintenance
Thermally modified wood is easy to maintain and doesn’t necessarily require surface treatment. Like any other wood however, when used outdoors and exposed to UV radiation the surface of Thermory products will naturally turn gray over time. This process starts immediately after the products are installed and can take from a few months to several years depending on how much UV light they’re exposed to. The durability of the products is not affected by the graying process.
If you wish to preserve or alter the wood’s color tone, Thermory boards can be coated with a UV-resistant pigmented mineral oil.
