Radiata Pine Thermowood Timber Cladding

Radiata Pine Thermowood timber cladding offers an alternative cladding solution to cedar and is produced from the finest quality Radiata Pine, sourced from New Zealand. Sustainable Radiata Pine is fast-growing and yields large logs in less than 30 years. In addition, the modification process uses only heat and steam, changing the chemical structure of the timber to improve basic performance characteristics, making it more durable and stable. Radiata Pine Thermowood timber cladding is an attractive and lustrous golden brown in colour with a slight bronze glow and virtually clear of knots. The wide open grain structure of the wood means it accepts paints and stains well. With no chemicals added during the treatment processes, Radiata Pine Thermowood is a sustainable and ecological choice. This material displays only half the amount of dimensional change in comparison with unmodified Radiata Pine used in the same environment.
