Ecological and Chemical-free Solution

Crafted with wide cladding boards using glue lamination technology, it offers durability and resilience against decay. Resin-free and suitable for hot and humid weather conditions, these claddings provide a sustainable option for exterior applications.
Durability and Dimensional Stability
The “D” in LunaThermo-D stands for durability, emphasizing the product’s resilience in various weather conditions. Lunawood Thermowood boasts low tangential swelling and shrinkage, ensuring outstanding dimensional stability. Through a natural thermal modification process and gluing, Lunawood produces durable cladding boards with exceptional dimensional stability, suitable for long-term use.
High Visual Quality and Appearance
The high-temperature treatment process of Thermowood removes resin from the wood, enhancing its visual quality. Whether coated or uncoated, Lunawood Thermowood claddings exhibit high visual appeal. The treatment temperature and time influence the wood’s color, with higher temperatures resulting in a darker appearance. Over time, when exposed to UV-light, uncoated claddings develop a beautiful silver grey patina.
