🌲 Thermowood Technology 215°C: Why Facades Last 25+ Years Without Maintenance

🔬 What is thermal modification and why is it critical for facades?

The process of treating wood at 215°C in an oxygen environment changes its structure at the molecular level:

Parameter	Ordinary wood	Thermowood 215°C
Moisture absorption	12–18%	3–5%
Shrinkage after installation	3–5%	~0%
Rot resistance	3–4 grades	Class 1 (highest)
Outdoor life	5–10 years	25–40 years old
Need for processing	Annual painting	Once every 3-5 years (oil)
Resin extraction	So	No
Allergy-friendly	⚠️ May cause a reaction	✅ Hypoallergenic

🛡️ Advantages of Thermowood for Modular Home Facades

Advantage	Technical explanation	Practical benefits for the owner
Weather resistance	Crystallization of lignin makes wood resistant to UV, rain and snow.	The facade does not darken, does not crack, and retains its aesthetics for 25 years.
Protection against fungi	Removal of nutrients for microorganisms	No need for antiseptic treatment, saving on maintenance
Eco-friendliness	Processing without chemical reagents, only high temperature	Safe for children, allergy sufferers, and the environment
Aesthetics	Accentuated texture, even golden-brown shade throughout the entire depth.	The house looks premium without additional painting.
Dimensional stability	Zero shrinkage, no deformation	Windows and doors do not jam, seams do not come apart.

💡 Expert note : Most manufacturers use regular pine for facades, which requires annual staining. We always use thermally modified wood—it saves you time and maintenance costs for 25+ years.

❓ FAQ — Engineer's Answers

❓ Do you need a foundation for a modular home?

Yes, but not a major overhaul. Optimally:

• Columnar foundation according to our free diagram
• Screw piles (6-8 pcs.) - ideal for uneven areas
• Concrete blocks on a sand and gravel bed
• Distance from ground to bottom trim: ≥15cm for ventilation

❓ Is it possible to live in the house in winter?

Yes. Insulation with 100 mm basalt wool (walls, floors, roof) + vapor barrier + water barrier ensures comfortable living at temperatures down to -30°C. Recommendations:

• Use an efficient heating system (convectors, heated floors, stove)
• Check the tightness of windows and doors before the winter season

❓ What does "finish-ready" mean?

• ✅ Walls, ceiling, floor - smooth, insulated, ready for wallpaper/painting/laminated flooring
• ✅ Utility networks (electricity, plumbing) – installed and ready for connection of devices
• ✅ You choose the design and finishing materials according to your budget, or we provide turnkey services

❓ Is it possible to change the layout of the house?

Yes. The basic layout (living room-kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, hallway) can be adapted:

• Moving partitions, changing room sizes
• Adding/reducing windows, changing door locations
• Integration of a terrace, canopy, additional module

❓ How to keep your home running during a power outage?

• ✅ Heating: wood/pellet stove (optional) does not require electricity
• ✅ Lighting: LED lamps + inverter + 12V battery = autonomous lighting for 2–3 days
• ✅ Water: storage tank + gravity feed = independence from pumps
• ✅ We provide consultations on the selection of autonomous power systems that fit your budget.

❓ How long does the warranty last?

• ✅ 5 years on the frame structure, facades, and roof
