Thermowood for joinery in Cyprus
Thermowood is timber that has been heat-treated to improve its stability and durability, ideal for decking, cladding and pergolas.
Thermal modification changes the wood's structure so it absorbs less moisture, moves less and resists decay without chemical treatment. It has an even brown colour that weathers to grey if left untreated. In Cyprus it is a popular choice for decking, cladding and pergolas.
Pros
- Very stable
- Resistant to decay without chemicals
- Even colour
- Good for decking and cladding
Cons
- More brittle than untreated timber
- Weathers to grey without oiling
- Higher cost than treated pine
