Specialist in wood products for housing and exteriors (cladding, paneling, decking, fencing and construction timber), PROTAC offers THERMOWOOD, a range in Nordic pine and spruce that is 100% environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable, ideal for both exterior and interior projects.
Available in 8 profiles (nestable, with elegy, openwork, openwork aspect, 3D aspect), this offer is available in a raw version (Natural) but can also be tinted by saturation (Essential) to leave room for everyone's inventiveness and imagination both on walls and ceilings (cladding and paneling) but also on exterior fittings (cladding, railings, shutters, etc.).
Thanks to a patented process in which raw wood is treated at high temperature in an atmosphere saturated with water vapor without any addition of chemical products, THERMOWOOD wood offers unrivaled dimensional stability and strong resistance to climate changes for perfect durability over time.
A stable and resistant range
With its expertise in the secondary processing of wood for nearly 30 years, PROTAC presents THERMOWOOD, a high-end wood range that is 100% environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable. Based on spruce and pine from renewable and PEFC-certified Nordic forests, this eco-responsible offer is the result of a patented process that provides unrivaled characteristics to the wood.
In fact, raw wood is treated at high temperature (212°C) in an environment saturated with water vapor and without any addition of chemical products, allowing the wood to reach an extremely low moisture content, between 4 and 7%. This final result gives it exceptional dimensional stability and extreme resistance to rot. In addition, this process eliminates the resurgence of resin, a recurring phenomenon when wood is subjected to high heat.
A carbon-neutral treatment that is sustainable over time
Furthermore, this treatment generates a neutral carbon footprint because 1 m² of THERMOWOOD captures and stores 5 times the quantity of CO2 required during its production throughout its life cycle.
This patented process gives the wood durability over time because it adapts to climate variations, making it particularly suitable for High Environmental Quality (HQE) constructions but also for Low Energy Buildings (BBC).
A collection combining creativity and aesthetics
Suitable for both exterior and interior use, the THERMOWOOD range is available in 8 profiles (nestable, with elegy, openwork, openwork aspect, 3D aspect) to design the most creative projects with infinite combinations in order to adapt to everyone's desires.
This creative freedom can take place on walls and ceilings with cladding or paneling, but also on different types of exterior fittings such as facade cladding, a guardrail or even a shutter.
Furthermore, to bring a unique character and greater aesthetics to each creation, the THERMOWOOD collection is available in a natural finish and with a saturation-tinted finish (Essential).
Focus on the essential finish
With its high-performance hydrophobic power, this Essential finish is designed for outdoor projects and is available in 3 colours (Charcoal, Silver and Authentic). It offers good colour retention over time and is guaranteed for 5 years.
The Charcoal finish gives a burnt wood look to bring a contemporary style to the facades. Although the dark color absorbs heat, the product maintains great stability and as a reminder, prevents the resurgence of resin thanks to the properties of THERMOWOOD.
