Deck flooring gives your house a different look and appears as if it is a wooden interior but it’s actually thin sheets with artificial wood.

Flooring has many kinds, one of which is known as thermowood decking. This is basically the incorporation and installation of thermally modified wood, also called heat-treated wood, and is a perfect environment friendly alternative to tropical hardwoods. It’s relatively new, and its lack of a track record makes a lot of builders hesitant to try it. Therefore, we believe in providing you information for the same.

The chemicals used to create thermowood decking are rot resistant and also act as insecticides preventing the material from termites. Factually, in most cases, thermowood decking is now ground contact approved (based on newly revised guidelines), which means that the authenticity of the materials is ensured hence making it easy for you to understand and trust the manufacturers. The cherry to the cake is that thermowood deck manufacturers offer long-term warranty, which generally covers fungal decay and termite infestation. So, the perception and worry of its maintenance is reduced with the accessibility to warranty and useful information. However, it is understandable that wood is a natural product, so it is going to be affected by the elements, specifically, exposure to the sun. There's a scientific process called photo-oxidation that causes the surface of the boards to gray, but the process can be slowed through the application of stain or paint.

Altogether put, thermowood decking has its good qualities and its not-so-good qualities. But with excellent features such as its resistant to fungal decay and termites as well as its attractive price-point, thermowood is an outstanding choice to use for the construction of your deck.
