ThermoWood
Stora Enso ThermoWood is a natural choice for challenging applications. It is produced using a patented thermal modification process. The heat treatment of softwood has a lasting effect on the technical properties of the material. In effect the process creates a new wood species with its own special properties, which are more like those of certain hardwoods and highly durable wood materials.
ThermoWood concept
As a result of many years of development work, Stora Enso Timber can now offer a complete concept covering the following areas: patented process, quality control system, CEN standard, life cycle analysis, PEFC certification, trademark and logotype. The benefits of this concept to the customer cover all aspects of a product and its origin.
