Why high-end furniture loves heat-treated wood？
What are the reasons behind the fact that heat-treated wood (china Thermo paulownia wood board)is becoming the material of choice for many brands in high-end furniture manufacturing?
First, heat treatment significantly improves the dimensional stability of wood. Hydroxyl groups in wood are highly hygroscopic, and heat treatment reduces the concentration of hydroxyl groups in wood, reducing hygroscopicity and internal stress. This means that furniture in different environmental humidity, can greatly reduce the moisture changes caused by dry shrinkage, moisture expansion and deformation and other problems, always maintain a stable form, to extend the service life of furniture.
Secondly, heat-treated wood has excellent decay resistance. In the high-temperature treatment process, complex chemical reactions occur within the wood, changing some of the components of the wood, reducing the nutrients of wood decay bacteria, from the food chain link to inhibit the growth of corrosive bacteria in the wood, but also produce some harmful toxins on the decay bacteria, able to kill decay bacteria, so that the furniture is more able to withstand the erosion of time and the environment(Heat-treated poplar production factory).
Furthermore, environmental protection is also an important factor in choosing heat-treated wood for high-end furniture. Heat treatment is a purely physical improvement technology, in the treatment process only involves temperature and water vapor, without adding any chemicals, nor add any foreign substances, is environmentally friendly materials, in line with the modern consumer's pursuit of environmentally friendly home.
In addition, heat treatment can give wood a full color. It can deepen the wood's color and make the wood show a tone similar to that of precious wood, which enhances the texture and aesthetics of the furniture and meets the high requirements of high-end furniture for the appearance of quality. Moreover, after heat treatment, the resin and inclusions of the wood are precipitated out, and the surface layer is free of oily components, which makes it easie.
