Material profile
Thermowood
| Typical use | Exterior cladding and interior lining where stability and dark tones are wanted |
|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Rich, even brown from heat treatment; takes dark stains and charred finishes well |
| Thermal behaviour | Heat treatment reduces moisture movement, giving stable surfaces at sauna temperatures |
| Resin level | None |
| Moisture resistance | High |
| Maintenance | Moderate; periodic re-coating if a stained or charred finish is used |
| Exterior suitability | Excellent |
| Interior suitability | Good |
| Bench suitability | Good |
Thermowood is heat-treated softwood prized for stability and its affinity for modern dark finishes. It anchors the archive’s contemporary cube and mobile profiles.
