Nationwide-November 06, 2024 (USANews.com)-- Thermawood-USA, founded by flooring industry veteran Tom Collins, is making waves in the American wood industry with innovative, thermally modified wood products. After nearly 40 years in the business, Collins was inspired to start Thermawood-USA following a visit to Europe, where he saw the impressive durability of thermally modified wood. Seeing how it retained strength and beauty even in high-moisture environments, Collins set out to bring this sustainable solution to the U.S., where it now serves as a resilient, eco-friendly option for both interiors and exteriors.
Environmentally Safe, Chemically-Free Wood Treatment
Thermawood-USA’s thermally modified wood uses only heat and steam to enhance durability, eliminating the need for chemical treatments. This innovative process restructures the wood’s cellular composition, resulting in increased stability, water resistance, and longevity. Collins knew this technology was a practical answer to the demand for high-performance wood that is safe, natural, and environmentally friendly. Thermally modified wood is ideal for moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms and showers, as it resists warping, rotting, and moisture infiltration, maintaining its form for decades.
Iconic American Wood Species with Modern Benefits
Thermawood-USA’s collection includes Antique Heart Pine, Cypress, and White Oak—three classic American wood species known for their beauty and strength. Antique Heart Pine, sourced from timbers over a century old, offers a rich grain pattern and timeless warmth that add a sense of history to any space. Cypress, newly added to the lineup, features unique grain patterns and exceptional durability, making it suitable for both interiors and outdoor applications like decking. White Oak, a favorite for its strength and versatility, adapts to any design style, offering both modern and classic aesthetics with outstanding longevity.
A Sustainable Choice in a World of Disposable Materials
Thermawood-USA emphasizes the importance of sustainability in today’s building industry. With projections estimating 20 billion square feet of composite decking and vinyl plank flooring entering landfills by 2030, Thermawood-USA offers a meaningful alternative. By providing wood products designed to last a lifetime, the company aims to reduce waste and offer customers a natural, long-term solution that aligns with sustainable practices. Collins underscores this mission, saying, “We owe it to future generations to not only care but to actually come up with solutions.”
Commitment to Quality and Lasting Relationships
Thermawood-USA doesn’t just sell wood; it delivers on quality, heritage, and craftsmanship. Each piece of wood is inspected to meet rigorous standards for beauty and resilience, ensuring that customers receive products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but built to endure.
