HARDWOOD TYPES & COLORS

For our exterior door models, we strongly suggest the use of modified wood species, such as Accoya or Thermowood.

The term modified wood describes wood products which have been modified through treatment with a chemical, biological or physical agent to enhance their performance. This can increase its durability, making it suitable for uses such as external cladding, decking, outdoor furniture and so on.

Modified wood can also provide extra strength, resistance to fungi and rot, and is indigestible to termites. It retains the warmth that traditional wood products contribute to harsh exteriors or features made from stone, concrete, brick or steel.

The science behind modified wood has enabled it to break into markets that were previously untouched by the timber market, lending itself to unlikely projects such as canal lining, a penguin bridge in an aquarium and an external climbing wall.
