The thermal modification of wood popped up in the early 20th century when a scientific study showed how thermal modification improved the qualities of timber and enhanced its resistance to moisture. ThermoWood\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is a brand of the International ThermoWood\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Association and its production volumes are increasing steadily. The range of thermally modified timber\u2019s applications has expanded rapidly to cover cladding and interior design products, patio and garden construction and the carpentry industry. As of 2022, almost 250,000 m3<\/sup>\u00a0is produced annually from ThermoWood\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0facilities alone!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
