Thermowood has gone through a treatment called thermos, so there are zero chemicals used, this creates the attractive dark brown finish over time. This can turn silver with sunlight, but the use of Osmo 420 UV-oil will help prevent this. There is also no need to treat the fresh cut ends of the timber.

Thermowood has a Class 2 durability and an expected lifespan of about 30 years.

Thermowood is mainly used for cladding due to it being an easy timber to work with. It can also be a suitable option for decking due to how durable the timber is to the elements.
