Thermally Enhanced Hardwood

Permanently altering the look to create a deeper richer, more intense hue of Australian Hardwood.

 

Product Information

With the knowledge and skill acquired from the ten years of thermally modifying Australian Hardwood, Hurford’s has now developed a process known as Thermally Enhanced Hardwood.

This process uses a unique temperature schedule through the drying process to create a colour palette that reflects the more traditional tones in the species, blending the tones together to provide a more uniformed look.

Another advantage of Thermally Enhanced Hardwood is the transformation of the traditional lighter sapwood to a more natural and attractive warm undertones.

To maintain the deep rich colour

End Matched

WOOD ELEMENTS end-match profile has a micro bevel edge designed to encourage water to drain away from the join. End matching the product means the boards can be fixed mid cavity batten, eliminating the need to dock and create volumes of waste that previously would have been thrown away.

Automatic Spacing System

This allows expansion to be placed between the boards, which is automatic and doesn’t require any special tools or spacers to get right. This unique design feature takes out any pressure caused if the boards expand due to absorption of moisture.
WOOD ELEMENTS timber is air dried for up to 12 months to bring the moisture content down to “fibre” saturation. From this point the timber is kiln dried. This produces a finished product with a very narrow moisture variation.

Straight Line Dressed

Hurfords uses a process to straighten boards post drying to ensure the boards are straight and stay straight. This ensures that WOOD ELEMENTS can be easily installed and all shadowlines remain as they have been designed – straight.
