There are a lot of problems with using wood. But using thermowood for landscaping would be the best option.
How is Thermowood Produced?
Recently, very beautiful and attractive styles have been developed for landscaping, which mainly use wood to design the outdoor space. However, as wood is very sensitive and will rot and even be attacked by pests due to climate change, so thermowood will be more suitable for landscaping. To prepare thermowood, it is necessary to go through the following steps:
- First, the appropriate wood must be selected. Thermowoods are made from soft and hardwoods in various designs, colors and textures. Therefore, when using thermowood for landscaping, you should go for the items that have the most resistance to environmental conditions.
- The selected woods are then placed in vacuum furnaces with high pressure and temperature. Inside these furnaces, the temperature gradually increases to the range of 180 to 220 degrees Celsius. The wood must then remain at the same temperature for a specified period of time. Due to the vacuum conditions inside the kiln, fire will not occur in the wood texture.
- In the next step, it is time to reduce the temperature inside the furnace, for which purpose it should be done gradually, and also water vapor should be used to cool the wood.
