Why choose Nordic Pine for your wood cladding ?

Nordic Pine (Scots Pine): a Scandinavian wood with unique qualities
Nordic Pine, or Scots Pine, from its botanical name Pinus Sylvestris, is a wood species native to Scandinavia, growing above 57° latitude North. Nordic Pine or Pinus Sylvestris is a distinctive pinkish to reddish-brown wood, with growth rings forming a contrasting grain. Native to cold regions, it has narrow, regular rings. Sapwood is cream-colored, with broad, less marked veining. The grain is straight and moderately fine, and the knots are brown, large and often crown-shaped.
Nordic Pine: a stable and durable wood for outdoor use
Derived from Scots pine, Nordic Pine Thermo combines natural aesthetics and performance thanks to an environmentally friendly steam thermostabilisation process. This heat treatment improves its stability and weather resistance and extends its service life. It limits warping and cracking and neutralises resin pockets, ensuring a neat and durable finish for your exterior facades.

FAQ : Everything you need to know about thermo-heated pine
What is thermally modified pine cladding?
Thermally modified pine cladding (or “thermo pine”) is pine wood heated to a high temperature (356–420°F) without chemicals. This treatment improves dimensional stability, reduces the risk of cracking, and increases the durability of the wood, while giving it a uniform, warm color.
Why choose thermostabilized pine or thermo pine cladding?
- Durability: resistant to moisture, insects, and mold.
- Stability: limits warping, shrinkage, and swelling.
- Natural appearance: uniform color and warm grain.
- Environmentally friendly: natural wood, chemical-free, and sourced from sustainably managed forests.
What is the difference between thermostabilized pine cladding and autoclave cladding?
- Heat-stabilized: heat treatment without chemicals, improves stability and durability.
- Autoclave: pressure treatment with chemicals, highly resistant to moisture but less environmentally friendly.
