Thermally modified timber decking
Thermopine®
Thermopine® decking is a thermally modified timber decking, made from sustainably sourced European-grown Scots Pine. Through a specialised process involving heat, steam, and pressure, the wood’s stability and durability are significantly enhanced. This process reduces the timber’s tendency to shrink or swell and increases its resistance to decay and wood-destroying organisms. For added safety, particularly in high-traffic or commercial areas, GripDeck® anti-slip strips can be factory applied offering enhanced slip resistance, making it an excellent choice for various decking projects.
At a glance
Species
Scots Pine
Origin
Northern Scandinavia
Modified Timber
Yes. Scots Pine is modified using only heat and steam. No chemicals or hazardous substances are used.
Grade
Heartwood of Scandinavian Scots Pine, thermally modified to create a dimensionally stable timber free from resin. Re-graded in-house to our own exacting standards.
Weathering
Uncoated boards have a uniform dark honey brown colour which will quickly weather to grey.
Sustainability
Sustainably sourced from well managed forests. PEFC certified.
Durability
Exceptional durability (Class 2 - 3 BS EN 350-2) due to thermal modification.
Appearance
Prominent figuring with an abundance of structurally sound live round and splay knots, some of which display cracks and chipped-off edges after machining. An occasional dead knot cannot be ruled out.
Density
Low - classified by BS EN 350-2 as approximately 420 Kg/m³ at a moisture content of approximately 6-8%.
Profile Options
We offer Thermopine® decking in the RW214 profile, specifically designed for use with our SenoFix® hidden fixing system. For enhanced safety, GripDeck® anti-slip strips can be integrated into the RW215 profile, maintaining the same clean, fixing-free aesthetic while improving slip resistance.
Stability
Thermal treatment results in substantially reduced swelling and shrinking of the timber, reducing dimensional movement by up to 50% making Thermopine® a very stable timber.
Surface Finish
Thermopine® decking can be planed for a smooth finish, or wire brushed to create a beautifully textured surface. GripDeck® can also be factory-applied for added slip resistance, making it ideal for large commercial spaces and high-traffic areas where safety is a priority.
