Thermowood® Cladding

ThermoWood® is a modified wood produced by heat treating Scandinavian softwood (either whitewood or redwood) in a kiln at a very high temperature. The heat goes to the core of the wood, drying out any moisture and resin. The result is reduced moisture content of approximately 7-10% and enhanced physical properties, creating a product that is 50% more stable than untreated softwood.This treated timber is ideal for external cladding and other outside uses, with no need for additional treatment. However, it can be easily stained, just as normal planed softwood. It is also very stable and has a high resistance to decay and fungal attack.We have seen an increasing use of ThermoWood® cladding over the past couple of years, as its modified properties are ideal for exterior use. ThermoWood® can be knotty and some live knots will be present in the wood, but dead knots should also be expected, which are prone to dropping out. As a result it is worth considering allowing an extra 10% on top of the usual wastage amounts to account for this. ThermoWood® is rated as 'durable' and is sourced from PEFC certified forests.Call our cladding team to discuss your requirements.

An unusually impressive service received from all of Bennett's staff involved with my order for Siberian larch cladding, ranging from helpful advice at initial sales enquiry, attentive response in progress chasing, to a careful and considerate delivery driver who expertly placed the large pallet exactly where the customer wanted it!

First impressions are "WOW" - really sharply machined and only two nicks in the wood, in the whole lot! such a smooth finish, and the corner pieces look awesome - so thank you all very much!

Good Afternoon. We just wanted to thank you for your help sorting the wood for my mums desk from her drawing. Also a huge thank you to the delivery driver who was so helpful and courteous to my mum. We will definitely be recommending you and using your company in the future. Kind regards
