Thermory & Danzer in Exterior Design: Decking

This blog is sponsored by TDCA member company Danzer UK.  The company has recently announced a new strategic partnership with Thermory to bring Thernory Ash and Thermory Pine decking and cladding products to the UK. 

The decking in your home bears witness to numerous magnificent and memorable moments.  On warm days we sit on the deck and bask in the sunshine, at night we enjoy long dinners with family and friends or gaze at the stars.  What better place to enjoy yourself than here, in fresh air and in natural surroundings, where natural wood feels so warm and inviting.

Thermally modified wood surfaces are dependable and durable.  Produced using only heat and steam, the process changes the physical properties of the wood to improve durability - nothing is added; no plastics, no preservatives.

Being timber, it also absorbs less heat in direct sunlight compared to wood plastic composite, making our product barefoot friendly.

Thermory decking also adds ambience to public spaces.  An important aspect here is durability.  Thermory Ash has been proven to have the highest durability class among different natural and processed wood species.

The stability and durability of Thermory Ash and Thermory Pine are guaranteed by a thermal modification process called Intense, during which the wood gets heated up to 215 degrees.

Without protective maintenance, thermally modified wood will turn silver-grey, although the material will retain its weather-resistant properties.

The natural grey tone has become popular in Scandinavia, where they do not put emphasis on maintaining the original colour of the wood and the weathered tone has actually become part of the design. However, it is possible to preserve the rich chocolate colour of Thermory Ash by regularly coating it with UV-protection oil.

Both Thermory Ash and Thermory Pine have become an integral part in the work of architects.
