Theramlly Modified Interior Wall and Ceiling Cladding
Arbor Wood Co. thermally modified interior wall and ceiling cladding uses domestically sourced and sustainably harvested timber. Thermal modification allows for wood not naturally suitable for interior applications to be successful because of its compositional change on a cellular level. A performance-driven and attractive material, Arbor Wood is a sustainable option for your next project.
Modern Design Meets Natural Performance
Thermally modified wood brings warmth, durability, and sustainability to interior spaces. Builders, architects, and designers use it to create stunning walls and ceilings that perform as beautifully as they look.
The process of thermal modification transforms natural wood into a superior material — one that resists movement, warping, and moisture without relying on chemicals. Each board maintains the character of real wood while gaining the strength and stability demanded in modern construction.
What Is Thermally Modified Wood?
Thermally modified wood begins as sustainably harvested hardwood or softwood, such as ash, pine, or spruce. Manufacturers place the lumber inside a special chamber, heat it between 350°F and 450°F (170°C to 230°C), and control the oxygen to prevent burning.
This high-temperature process drives out moisture, sugars, and resins that normally cause swelling, shrinking, or decay. The treatment changes the wood’s internal structure, locking in dimensional stability and natural resistance to moisture and insects.
The result? Wood that stays straighter, lasts longer, and looks richer — all without any chemical additives.
Why Choose Thermally Modified Wood for Interiors?
1. Elegant Natural Beauty
Thermal modification deepens the color of the wood, creating rich brown tones that highlight the grain and bring a warm, modern aesthetic to interior walls and ceilings. Every board adds character and depth to the space.
2. Dimensional Stability
Interior environments often fluctuate with humidity. Thermally modified wood resists those changes, preventing cupping, gapping, or twisting. You can install it confidently in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-humidity environments without worry.
3. Sustainable Craftsmanship
The process uses only heat and steam — no toxic preservatives, stains, or resins. Designers can specify thermally modified wood knowing it’s safe, renewable, and environmentally responsible.
4. Low Maintenance
Because it’s more stable and less absorbent, thermally modified wood requires little upkeep. You can finish it with natural oils or leave it raw for a matte, architectural look.
5. Versatility in Design
Install thermally modified wood as wall paneling, ceiling planks, or feature accents. It complements modern minimalism, rustic design, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors equally well.
Performance That Redefines Interior Wood
Traditional interior wood can move, expand, or fade over time. Thermally modified wood changes that reality. Its enhanced structure reduces movement and minimizes seasonal changes. The rich color runs through the entire board, not just the surface, so scratches and wear remain less visible.
Architects appreciate its consistency. Installers appreciate its stability. Homeowners appreciate how it transforms a room.
Whether you’re finishing a hospitality space, a residential retreat, or a commercial lobby, thermally modified wood brings performance that matches its beauty.
A Smarter Choice for Sustainable Design
Thermally modified wood delivers the warmth of nature with the confidence of innovation. It lets you design interiors that stand out, perform better, and age gracefully.
