Heat-treated wood – ideal for terraces

Heat-treated wood has become a popular choice for decking due to its unique characteristics that make it ideal for outdoor use. This material not only offers a pleasant aesthetic appearance, but is also extremely durable and environmentally friendly. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud of our expertise in the creation of wooden and WPC terraces, having over 10 years of experience in the sector, working with the best materials and equipment available on the market.

One of the biggest advantages of heat-treated wood compared to traditional wood it has better resistance to atmospheric agents and insects. The heat treatment process involves exposing wood to high temperatures, which changes its cellular structure and makes it less susceptible to damage. This means that heat-treated wooden decks can withstand extreme weather conditions such as rain, snow or strong sun much better. For example, we recently built a terrace for a residential complex in Bihor, where we used heat-treated wood to ensure long-term durability and aesthetics.

The process of heat treatment it is essential to obtain these superior properties. The wood is heated to temperatures of around 160-220 degrees Celsius without being exposed to oxygen, which prevents combustion. This method not only improves the strength of the wood, but also gives it a darker color and a more pleasant texture. We use cutting-edge equipment, such as professional Columbus sanders, to guarantee a perfect finish to the heat-treated wood, so that each patio is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing.

Another important aspect of heat treated wood is its resistance to bad weather and insects. Thanks to the heat treatment process, the wood becomes less attractive to insects and less likely to rot. This makes it ideal for use in humid environments or areas with variable climates. In a recent project for a hospital in Passau, we used heat-treated wood to build a terrace that could withstand the area’s harsh weather conditions, and the result was impressive.

The aesthetics of heat-treated wood is another reason why it is preferred in residential projects. The various colors and textures available allow you to customize the terraces to match the architectural style of new homes or residential complexes. For example, we created a heat-treated wood terrace for a new residential complex, where we chose a darker shade to integrate with the modern design of the building. This choice was appreciated by both developers and tenants.

Another significant advantage of heat-treated wood terraces is minimal maintenance necessary. Unlike traditional wood, which requires frequent treatments with oils or paints to avoid damage, heat-treated wood is easily cleaned with soap and water. This means new homeowners can save time and money in the long run. Additionally, due to its durability, heat-treated wood does not require frequent replacement, making it an economical long-term choice.

The ecological impact of using heat-treated wood is another important aspect to mention. This type of wood is often sustainably sourced, and the heat treatment process does not involve harmful chemicals. We at RATGROUP SRL are committed to using eco-friendly materials and promoting sustainable solutions in all our projects. In this way our customers can rest assured that their choice contributes to protecting the environment.

While the initial cost may be higher than traditional wood or other materials such as WPC, the savings achieved through low maintenance and superior durability quickly make up for this difference. Furthermore, customers who choose heat-treated wood decks benefit from a product that maintains its appearance and functionality in the long term.

We have numerous of them in our portfolio case studies which demonstrates the success of using heat-treated wood in our projects. For example, we created a terrace for the Audi dealership in Germany, where we used heat-treated wood to create an elegant and sustainable space for customers. The feedback received was extremely positive and customers appreciated both the aesthetic appearance and the durability of the terrace.
