Thermowood

A SUPERCOMP wood composter is made of domestic pine thermowood in durability class 1-2 (tropical wood quality). In a completely biological thermal process, controlled heating removes the substances from the wood that wood-destroying microorganisms (fungi) can live on (where there is no food, there is no fungus).

Inside, the wood is protected with attached PP hollow-chamber multiwall sheets. Polypropylene is considered the most environmentally friendly plastic and is fully recyclable. The intelligent hollow chamber system saves valuable raw materials compared to solid plastic.

The positive properties of thermowood:

• Increased durability (against fungal attack and weathering) - even inside the wood
• Reduced swelling and shrinkage
• Increased dimensional stability
• Reduction of internal stresses in the wood
• The equilibrium moisture content of the wood is reduced, i.e. with the same ambient climate, the moisture content of Thermowood is up to 70% lower than that of untreated wood
• New color tones can be created, ranging from a warm brown tone to the black of smoked oak
• All color changes are consistent and homogeneous across the cross-section
• Better thermal insulation properties than untreated wood
