Thermo Pine
Scots Pine from Nordic mills, cooked at 212°C under steam at our Gandhidham kiln. No preservatives, no copper salts. The board stops moving with the seasons and darkens to a honey-brown that runs right through the thickness.

Nordic workhorse of the thermowood range.
Pinus sylvestris grows slowly in Nordic forests — Finland, Sweden, Norway. The cold shortens the growing season, which tightens the grain. Boards arrive at our Gandhidham facility kiln-dried to 10–12% moisture, FSC-certified at source (chain-of-custody SCS-COC-006930).
Scots Pine is the original species the Finnish ThermoWood process was developed on at VTT. After the Class D cycle at 212°C under steam it moves from EN 350 durability class 5 (non-durable) to class 2 (durable) — the same band as teak heartwood.
