Man Made Wood
If you are looking for a way to add more storage to your property and also give your yard a more natural look, then Thermo Wood Sheds may be just what you need.
Most people look for a shed that looks like wood but does not actually have a real wood core. Wood, while a beautiful material, will not stand up to the elements as well as other types of materials such as steel or metal.
A real woodshed will usually have real wood sides and doors but will have no actual wood core. This gives the shed an attractive appearance with real wood feels to it but is not real wood.
These sheds are made of all natural materials, so no two units will be the same. While you will generally find that they are constructed of wood, they can be made of aluminum, plastic, or steel. All of these materials are easy to clean and maintain, so this makes them popular choices among people who live in colder climates.
They can also provide a secure place for your equipment so they do not get damaged if they are exposed to the elements.
Steel and aluminum are very heavy, and you will want to make sure that the shed is strong enough to hold the weight. Steel is also very durable, but does not have the same natural beauty as wood.
Aluminum is slightly more affordable than wood but is also weaker than steel. A shed made entirely of aluminum will likely last longer than one constructed entirely of wood.
The prices of these sheds will vary greatly based on the type and design. Some sheds are made from plastic, and others are constructed entirely of steel.
Plastic sheds are generally cheaper to purchase than the metal models, and the metal models are much stronger. These types are great for those who are trying to save money. Since they do not have a wooden or metalcore, they will not need a lot of maintenance in order to look good and keep their value.
Wood sheds that are constructed entirely of wood can look wonderful, but they can be prone to a number of problems. The most common problem that people have is that wood is easy to rot. If they are not properly treated, their appearance will be ruined.
Wood sheds can be quite heavy, so it is important to make sure they are built in a location that has enough room to accommodate them without being too heavy. This will help to protect your furniture from damage.
Vikings Used Thermo Wood
Heat has long been used to improve and enhance the natural properties of wood.
In ancient times, tribes in Africa heat-treated their spears on the fire in order to harden them, while the Vikings would burn the outside of their ships to make them fire retardant and water resistant.
Stability
One of the most important advantages Thermowood has over other types of untreated timber is that it’s very stable. The intensive heat used during the treatment process dries the wood out deep into its core.
This removes all moisture and resin from the timber.
When Thermowood is installed on site, it won’t swell, crack, or shrink as much as untreated timber. It also won’t secrete sap, even in extreme temperatures.
This stability is a very important quality for many people using heat treated timber, including designers looking for long straight lines.
Longevity
Heat treating wood in this way helps to extend the lifespan of the timber. The atmospheric and environmental conditions the wood is exposed to will still play an important role in determining how long the timber will last.
However, thermodified timber still has a longer average lifespan compared to standard wood as some of the natural sugars have been eliminated thus increasing its resistance to rot and fungi. This is a major advantage for those who want their construction projects to last as long as possible.
At the end of its life, chemical-free heat treated wood can simply be discarded or recycled – an added benefit over chemically treated wood.
