Timber

Heat treated for indoor & outdoor use

The process that converts premium Scandinavian softwood to Finnforest Thermowood® is straightforward: each piece is steam heated in a kiln. The heat goes to the core of the wood, driving out moisture and resin. The result is a timber with a reduced moisture content and enhanced physical properties.

Finnforest Thermowood® is 50% more stable than untreated softwood. It suffers less shrinkage, swelling, and distortion in response to atmospheric changes. It is easy to work with and lightweight. The improved stability of Finnforest Thermowood® reduces the potential for shrinkage, warp or twist ensuring your deck or cladding looks great for years to come.

Year-round beauty & performance

Finnforest Thermowood® doesn’t need to be treated with preservatives. That makes it perfect for use in an organic garden. Finnforest Thermowood’s superior resistance to water and to attack from fungi means that it will last as long if not longer than chemically-treated softwood. For best performance, ThermoWood should be installed in above ground conditions. This means that is the ideal material for garden decking and external claddings. It looks good all year round and it goes on looking good year after year. Just treat with natural pigmented wood oils or Sadolin quick drying wood stain to maintain the rich depth of colour.

A recognition of its aesthetic, environmental and performance qualities has led to Finnforest Thermowood®  being chosen as an integral design in many new and innovative designs.

The best of both worlds

The rich, golden colour of Finnforest Thermowood® cladding and decking is beguiling.

Its colour is similar to western red cedar and yet the warm and reassuring boards beneath your toes are hewn from environmentally-sound Scandinavian softwood from sustainable forests. A full range of cladding and decking components are available through selected stockists. Finnforest ThermoWood®canbe used in many areas such as interior and exterior cladding, floors and indoor ceilings, mouldings and sections, facades, garden furniture, playground equipment, noise screening, sauna panelling, fences and terraces.

Posi-Joists - The Alternative Joist System

The Posi-Joist system is the latest generation of flooring systems within the building industry and combines timber and Posi Strut steel web that allows for a span of far greater distances while allowing a variety of internal room layouts within an external shell.

Being the latest in flooring systems Posi-Joists mean an end to floors that squeak due to the natural tendency of traditional timber floor joists to twist and warp and therefore puts an end to costly snagging call-backs for housebuilders.

You know when a home feels right. Instinct tells you! Those same instincts govern your choice of flooring. You want something that always looks good, that copes with kids, with change, with parties, and with the occasional spillage. You want something that adds value to your home. Most of all, you want something that leaves you time for yourself.

A wooden floor does all of that - and more. It lives and breathes with you. It has a contemporary yet timeless style that grows better with each passing year. And since no two pieces of wood are alike, the floor in your home is like no other.

Wood is a natural insulator and surprisingly durable. It's hygenic, dust free, and easy to maintain. It's the natural choice for a floor. Which you choose and how you use it is up to you. So take to the floor, follow your instincts, and make the world dance to your tune.

The Kronotex laminated flooring range offers the beauty of real wood flooring but the cost effective practicality of a laminated surface. The BKB real wood flooring range provides the perfect natural finish with a solid hardwood wear surface, toughened by six layers of UV-hardened laquer and engineered with a stable solid wood core.

Both systems feature a glue-free locking system to ensure a simple and effective installation.
