Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THERMOWOOD?

ThermoWood® is a wood material crafted without chemicals using a specialized thermal modification process. This process involves subjecting the wood to high temperatures ranging from 180°C to 230°C in a controlled environment. These elevated temperatures enhance the chemical and physical properties of the wood, thereby improving its overall quality and performance. This makes the wood more durable and stable, significantly reducing its vulnerability to rot. Additionally, ThermoWood® is less likely to warp, swell, or shrink compared to untreated wood due to its reduced moisture content.

WOOD DECK OR COMPOSITE DECK- WHICH MATERIAL TO CHOOSE?

Composite decking is very popular in Canada due to its affordability, availability, and low maintenance requirements. However the quality of composite boards can vary depending on the manufacturer.

Composite Decking

Composite decks are lightweight and easy to install. They are typically composed of 80 to 95% recycled plastic and 5 to 20% wood sawdust. However, the wood content in the core can lead to rot if installed near water or in damp areas. They are also not suitable for heavy loads as they may deform under pressure. Over time, the decking may show surface scratches. The average warranty for composite decking is around 25 years.

Wood Decking

Wood decks are generally more expensive and require regular maintenance. However, they are more durable than plastic, making them ideals for high-traffic areas or gathering spaces. Most wood decks offer a warranty of 25 years or more, depending on the type of wood chosen. They are also more resistant to scratches and can maintain a rich color with proper upkeep.
