Thermally Modified Hardwood and its role in Architectural Design

Thermally modified hardwood has great potential in both exterior and interior applications. Because the lumber has been physically modified – architects and designers must understand the different physical characteristics to use this innovative product in the proper applications. Specifications, installation, and maintenance are also different with thermally modified hardwood.
