Thermodecking production
Decking is crafted from regular wood, subject to a unique high-temperature treatment. As a result the polysaccharides in the wood decompose, thereby removing breeding grounds for bugs and other insects.
After exposure to high temperature, up to 95% of resins and acids get released from the wood, and the moisture content of the wood drops to 2-3% compared to 15% in a conventional board.
Indeed, heat-treated wood stands out as an exceptional choice for both construction and finishing purposes. Its longevity surpasses that of untreated wood, boasting a remarkable service life that spans ten times longer and ensures a trouble-free experience throughout its entire life cycle.
Stability
The stability of thermowood is a standout feature, achieved through exposure to high temperatures. This process ensures that the material remains 100% stable in shape, minimizing the risk of deformations by a factor of 10. With thermowood, you can count on decking that maintains its dimensions and shape, resisting the impact of various external factors.
Reliability
Our decking stands out for its unwavering stability, impressive strength, and high density. Designed to withstand the elements, this material is resilient against insects, fungus, and mould. It remains resistant to rot, chipping, and peeling, even when subjected to the sun and precipitation.
Moisture resistance
Thanks to our high-temperature treatment, our wood gains excellent water-repellent properties. This means you can use it not only in dry conditions but also outdoors and even in direct contact with water.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES
OF THERMODECKING
Thermo-modification improves the properties of ordinary wood, which gives the thermowood board serious advantages over decking made of larch and WPC. Thermowood is as resistant to the environment as possible, it is not afraid of rain, snow, fog and other vagaries of nature.
Our material effortlessly withstands vapours and moisture, boasting a hygroscopicity reduced to nearly zero. Even when fully immersed in water for an extended period, it absorbs moisture in a volume of no more than 8% of its total mass.
Thermowood decking marks a revolutionary breakthrough in finishing materials. Gradually supplanting traditional wooden decks, heat-treated wood excels in both longevity and decorative appeal.
As the premier manufacturer of thermowood, Thermodecking invites you to purchase terrace boards across Russia and abroad. With meticulous control over every manufacturing stage, we ensure 100% quality. Leveraging our own production base, we can fulfil orders of any volume with a guarantee of excellence.
Thermowood's resistance to harmful microflora, including mould and fungus, as well as insects, ensures its longevity and preserves its appearance and properties far beyond its counterparts. This exceptional durability eliminates the need for repairs or replacements throughout its entire service life.
THERMOWOOD COMPARISON
WITH OTHER MATERIALS
When comparing different decking board types in terms of price per m2, thermowood decking may have a higher cost compared to larch and WPC. However, the material’s service life significantly increases to up to 25 years after heat treatment. Considering the enhanced durability and other listed properties, the higher cost of thermowood is fully justified.
Larch deck boards, with a natural humidity level of 11-16%, experience constant changes in moisture characteristics, leading to variations in geometric dimensions. This results in technological gaps between the laid boards that continuously fluctuate based on ambient air temperature.
These transverse and longitudinal deformations complicate installation and cause discomfort during the flooring’s operation.

WPC is a wood-composite deck board for porches and patios, which combines the properties of wood and polymers. Plastic is present in the composition of such material: PVC, polyethylene or polypropylene.
Despite the fact that polymers are considered safe (when added in an amount of no more than 40-45%), they make decking WPC artificial. In contrast, thermowood is 100% natural, as it is produced without any additives. WPC may additionally contain dyes to give colour to the material and modifiers to improve its operational properties.
WPC also contains wood, but it is added after milling in the form of wood flour. This is why the finished board has a dull striped surface rather than the natural texture of a living tree as in thermowood decking.
Some additional key differences:
- The strength of thermowood is higher than WPC, so it is better able to withstand mechanical impact.
- Thermowood decking is geometrically stable, whereas WPC can deform over time.
- Compared to thermowood, WPC has a higher abrasion resistance, which results in a shorter service life.
- WPC cannot be sanded as this will remove the protective polymer layer, whereas sanding is often necessary in case something has been spilled on the composite board.
- Thermowood heats up 25% less than WPC, so it is more pleasant to walk on thermowood flooring than composite boards when heated.
SOME ADDITIONAL KEY DIFFERENCES:
- Thermowood requires no maintenance, while larch flooring needs annual treatment with antiseptic, dye, and varnish.
- Natural wood is vulnerable to insect infestation and rot, while thermowood is resistant to both.
- Untreated larch may develop cracks and jagged edges due to changes in its geometry, resulting in splinters when walked on barefoot.
THERMOWOOD DECKING
FOR PORCHES AND PATIOS
Our decking is made of thermowood and is therefore simple and easy to maintain. This material does not require any additional treatment.
Simplicity
If you want, you can always change the environment, bring something new into the interior or landscape by coating the boards with paint or varnish. The material lends itself well to paint and varnish, although it does not require regular application and can be used without coating.
Technology
Decking board made of thermowood combines the best properties that a finishing material can have. Among them are long service life, environmental friendliness, hypoallergenicity, as well as high strength and stability of geometric dimensions. These properties are preserved in thermowood throughout the entire period of operation, which lasts at least 25 years. The decking is durable and reliable. It perfectly absorbs sounds, always stays warm, well tolerates temperature fluctuations and bad weather.
Aesthetics and freedom in design
High-temperature treatment gives the wood a presentable appearance. The colour of the wood becomes deeper, more complex and richer, while the grain becomes more vivid and pronounced. Heat treatment emphasises the natural beauty of the wood grain, making the appearance of the decking even more noble and attractive. Visually, this material is not inferior to valuable wood species, which is why it is actively used in premium design projects.
WHERE THERMODECKING
BOARD IS USED
When wood undergoes specialised heat treatment, it becomes an advanced material. Thermodecking is suitable for use almost anywhere, except for load-bearing structures.
Porches and patios
The most popular solution is to use outdoor decking as a floor covering for outdoor terraces, verandas or pergolas. As a hard-wearing and durable material, thermowood is ideal for outdoor areas, including those directly under the open sky. After many years of use, no cracks will appear in the covering. Individual boards will not dry out or warp, and you won't have to repaint or varnish the floor every year.
Swimming pool areas
As thermowood decking is not afraid of even prolonged contact with water, the material is used to finish the areas around swimming pools, piers and jetties. With the help of deck boards, it is possible to create an aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting covering that is pleasant to the touch. You can walk barefoot on it, which is especially important when organising a spa area near a swimming pool where people relax, sunbathe and bathe.
Saunas and bathhouses
An excellent solution for finishing rooms with high humidity - decking board for baths, saunas, steam rooms. The material does not rot, does not swell and does not collapse even under the constant influence of moisture and high temperatures. It retains steam in the room well, does not emit resin and does not get so hot that a person could get burned if accidentally touched. Thermowood is even used in the creation of Japanese Ofuro-style thermobaths and barrel baths, which are installed directly on compacted soil.
Thermowood for decking
Decorating the grounds
The thermowood board is suitable for creating paths on the grounds, decorating the landscape and helping to organise comfortable movement on the homestead territory. Deck board paths are as reliable and durable as possible, perfectly resisting increased loads. Considering that on thermowood you can move barefoot, the creation of paths from it really simplifies navigating around the premises. You can connect the house with a summer kitchen, sauna, guest house, garage and other buildings on the territory.
Wide range of applications
Thermo-modification significantly expands decking application areas. The material is one of the most popular and durable solutions for flooring, cladding and garden pergolas. Resistance to rotting makes thermowood an ideal material for use on sites with high humidity. Wherever used, it does not suffer from the problem of uneven shrinkage, does not warp, crack or rot. At the same time, the soft, noble halftones of natural wood emphasise the beauty of both the interior and the landscape.
Long service life
Regardless of where it is used, Thermodecking board will last for 20-25 years or more. The long service life is due to the improved properties and characteristics of the material. This is due to changes in the structure as a result of heat treatment, which prolongs the life cycle of the material.
