Herstellung und Eigenschaften von thermisch vergütetem Holz – eine Übersicht | Production and properties of heat-treated wood: an overview

For many years already, the thermic modification of wood has been employed in the wood industry. Numerous new or improved properties such as low equilibrium moisture content and thus lower swelling or improved durability and exotic colour tints characterise this material. Nevertheless, it is certainly open to further improvements, above all with regard to reproducibility and quality guarantees. Regulations for this relatively new material, for which only little experience values exist until now, are to be expected.
