Lunawood ThermoWood®
Thermally Modified + Dimensionally Stable + Nordic Pine & Spruce
Innovative Lunawood Thermowood is a truly natural and long-lasting wood modified using only natural methods - heat and steam - without chemicals. The sustainable Nordic timber's durability and stability are improved significantly through the patented non-toxic production method. This allows Lunawood to be used for all decorative surfaces - both indoors and out - and in all climates. And the best part? It's extremely low maintenance and doesn't require surface treatments or chemical preservatives in any climate, even the most challenging ones. That's because Lunawood does not react to changes in humidity and retains its original shape better than untreated wood. When left untreated, it gradually develops a beautiful silver color.
Real Wood, From Renewable and Certified Nordic Forests.
100% Chemical-free Modification Process.
A Truly Sustainable, Durable, Stable and Naturally Beautiful Alternative to Tropical Hardwoods.
Features
- 100% REAL WOOD: Only the best Nordic PEFC-certified wood from renewable and well-managed forests is used to create Lunawood.
- REAL WOOD, BUT MORE DURABLE: Lunawood Thermowood is thermally modified at 212ºC to improve the raw material wood's durability and stability significantly.
- OUTDOOR & INDOOR USE: Lunawood is suitable for internal and external applications without the need for chemical treatments to preserve it. Can even be used in humid spaces like a spa or sauna.
- HEALTHY - NON-TOXIC & RESIN FREE: Since only heat and steam are used to produce it, Lunawood Thermowood's total emissions are significantly lower than untreated wood (0.04 mg/m2h). The products are pure, safe, and hygienic even for allergy sufferers prone to wood-related reactions. Does not secrete or leak any resin or produce harmful indoor air emissions.

Lunawood's Sustainability Story
Sustainability is at the heart of Lunawood's operations, from the sourcing of raw materials to the whole product life cycle.
Certified Raw Material
Lunawood's pine and spruce raw material comes from well-managed Nordic forests that are harvested in a legal manner and where regeneration is ensured. And their chain of custody certification provides independent verified assurance of that. This works hand in hand with the world's largest forest certification system, PEFC, which ensures that forests are managed in a sustainable manner.
In Finland, they only cut 75% of the annual growth and whenever one tree is cut, four new seedlings are planted, which means the forests grow at a faster rate than they are used. And more carbon is stored than is emitted.
Long Life Cycle
Lunawood's trademarked ThermoWood® products are produced using a patented and independently audited process that thermally modifies the timber without chemicals. This process provides Thermowood with exceptional durability and dimensional stability, both of which ensure a long life cycle and long-term storage of CO2.
Lunawood is a truly sustainable, durable, stable and naturally beautiful alternative to chemically treated wood and tropical hardwoods.

The Natural Graying of Lunawood Thermowood
Thermal modification gives Lunawood a rich brown color and outstanding durability in all climate conditions. Because the modification alters the wood's properties, Lunawood does not require surface treatments to ensure a long life-cycle. You can simply let the wood naturally and gradually gray into a beautiful silver color. That makes it even more of a sustainable choice - no maintenance with oils, tints or paints. The final shade of gray will vary from pure silver gray to a lighter rustic tone, depending on the construction and the climate conditions it has been exposed to, especially the sun's UV radiation.
The weathered graying does not affect the technical properties of the product. As Lunawood's brown color starts to fade over time due to the effect of weather conditions, it continues to maintain its high-performance properties.
