What is thermally modified wood? Let’s break it down.
It’s real wood, taken to the next level.

Through a specialized process using only heat and steam, the wood is slowly baked at temperatures up to 230°C. No chemicals, no coatings. Just pure thermal transformation.

Why do it? Because it changes the wood at its core:
✔️ It becomes more stable, so it won’t warp or cup
✔️ It resists moisture, decay, and insects naturally
✔️ It lasts longer, even in harsh outdoor conditions

At texel, we offer a full collection of Abodo thermally modified products, designed for performance, beauty, and sustainability. From cladding to decking, these materials are made to endure Canada’s wildest seasons while keeping a refined, architectural look.

It’s not just treated wood, it’s reengineered to perform.
