Thermally modified timber decking

Thermopine®

Thermopine® timber decking, produced from modified European-grown Scots Pine using a process involving heat, steam, and pressure, offers enhanced stability and durability over non-modified timbers. The thermal modification results in reducing the wood’s propensity to shrink and swell while also enhancing its resistance to wood-destroying organisms, making it an excellent choice for decking projects.

Species

Scots Pine

Origin

Northern Scandinavia

Modified Timber

Yes. Scots Pine is modified using only heat and steam. No chemicals or hazardous substances are used.

Grade

Heartwood of Scandinavian Scots Pine, thermally modified to create a dimensionally stable timber free from resin. Re-graded in-house to our own exacting standards.

Weathering

Uncoated boards have a uniform dark honey brown colour which will quickly weather to grey.

Sustainability

Sustainably sourced from well managed forests. PEFC certified.

Durability

Exceptional durability (Class 2 - 3 BS EN 350-2) due to thermal modification.

Appearance

Prominent figuring with an abundance of structurally sound live round and splay knots, some of which display cracks and chipped-off edges after machining. An occasional dead knot cannot be ruled out.

Density

Low - classified by BS EN 350-2 as approximately 420 Kg/m³ at a moisture content of approximately 6-8%.

Profile Options

Thermopine® decking can be produced in the following profiles, RW214 and RW215 (Gripdeck). These are specifically designed for use with SenoFix® for a refined appearance and enhanced performance.

Stability

Thermal treatment results in substantially reduced swelling and shrinking of the timber, reducing dimensional movement by up to 50% making Thermopine® a very stable timber.

Surface Finish

Can be produced in a planed or wire-brushed finish, we can also add Gripdeck.
