When evaluating different species of thermally modified wood, balancing durability and strength with aesthetic preferences, cost considerations, and availability is paramount. The diverse range of timber species available presents both opportunities and challenges, with significant variations in looks, performance and supply. Architects and designers must carefully navigate these considerations, ensuring that their choices align with project requirements and long-term sustainability objectives.

Selection Guide for Thermally Modified Wood Species examines the relevant considerations when assessing and selecting the right species of thermally modified wood for specific architectural and interior design applications. We also take a close look at the qualities of Novawood’s selection of wood species: Tulipwood, Ayous, Pine, and Ash.

Novawood Technology represents the harmonious union of nature's gifts and human dedication, setting a new benchmark for sustainable and high-performance wood solutions. The manufacturing of Novathermowood products is completely natural and chemical-free.
