Machining, fastening & finishing
Precision fabrication &
long-term surface care.
Thermal modification changes the way wood machines and responds to moisture. Use sharp tools, support the board near the cut and follow the current Maximo fastening and finish guidance for Scandinavian Thermo.
Machining & Fastening Guidelines:
- Sharp tooling; thermal processing reduces resin and pitch movement
- Exterior-grade stainless steel screws selected for the profile and substrate
- Pre-drilling recommended for all fasteners, especially near board ends
- Treat field cuts and exposed end grain according to the finish and installation guidance
Recommended Finish Systems:
- Exterior penetrating oil stains with UV blockers
- Factory prefinish coating systems
- Natural weathering to rustic silver patina
High-temperature processing reduces volatile resins; inspect and finish for the intended exposure.
Thermal modification changes the wood through its cross-section rather than creating a surface-only stain.
Request order-specific certification when chain-of-custody documentation is required.
Documented product warranty for listed interior and exterior uses.

Scandinavian Thermo FAQs
Material &
project questions.
Will Scandinavian Thermo bleed sap like standard pine lumber?+
The high-temperature process reduces natural resins and the risk of pitch bleed. Board selection, exposure and finish conditions should still be reviewed for the intended application.
What profiles are available in Scandinavian Thermo?+
Maximo offers 1x6 V-Joint, 1x6 Fluted #5, and heavy 5/4x6 S4S for decking, siding, and soffits.
