How to care for thermowood to preserve it for years to come

Caring for thermally modified wood doesn’t take much effort, but proper care will help keep its beauty and performance for decades to come.

Here are a few care tips from Timbera Group:

• Cleaning: remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth or sponge. For heavier dirt, you can use a soft brush or mop. Pressure washers make the job easier and give quick results – a strong stream of water washes away any remaining dirt.
• Avoid abrasives: don’t use stiff brushes or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
• Moisture protection: even though thermowood is water-resistant, it should be treated with protective products if used outdoors, around pools, or in other exposed areas.
• Stain removal: if food or drink spills occur, wipe them off with a damp cloth to keep them from soaking into the wood. Even light stains can eventually penetrate natural wood and cause discoloration.
• Regular oiling: apply special wood oil from time to time to preserve its natural beauty and improve protection.
• Prevent damage: protect the surface from impacts or heavy dragging. Avoid moving heavy objects directly across the wood.
• Routine checks: inspect the wood regularly for cracks or damage so you can fix them in time.
• Winter care: make sure to clear snow and ice from open terraces promptly – hot water will help with this task.
