Having proven itself as a durable, stable wood on buildings across Europe, thermally-modified timber is now rivalling the likes of cedar cladding here in New Zealand. We spoke to timber specialists, Rosenfeld Kidson, to discover why they’re so passionate about the product.
Truwood is produced using the latest thermal modification technology, a process that includes applying heat between 160 - 230°C, water vapour, and pressure to the timber to alter its chemical composition.
With increased durability and stability, Truwood is ideal for homes in areas with harsh weather conditions.
All Truwood weatherboards are factory coated with Sansin Woodforce before they're delivered to site, guaranteeing performance.
