Thermowood Iroko

Origin: Iroko: Tropical West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast).

Features:

  • Color: Iroko's natural golden brown/yellowish color becomes deeper and more uniform with thermal treatment. Dark brown or rich amber colors may develop.
  • Texture: The natural texture is preserved, but surface hardness increases.
  • Mechanical Properties: Excellent dimensional stability (not affected by moisture, does not crack or warp). Very high resistance to water, moisture, mold, and decay (Natural durability class 1). Heat treatment further enhances Iroko's already high natural durability. The process is completely natural and contains no chemicals.

Other Names: Thermo-Iroko, Thermo-African Teak, Heat-Treated Iroko.

Applications: Marine applications (boat decks, piers), outdoor decks and terraces, garden furniture, swimming pool surrounds, exterior cladding, sauna and spa areas, steam rooms. Interior and exterior wall and floor applications

ThermoWood Iroko is the pinnacle of performance from one of nature's most durable woods. Heat treatment makes Iroko virtually indestructible against the harshest outdoor conditions, such as salt water, sun, and rain. With its teak-like appearance and superior properties, it is a premium choice that promises a lifetime of use.
