Material & assembly planning

Key advantages &
installation rules.

Real-Wood Surface

A smooth natural surface can be inspected, cleaned and refinished as part of the maintenance plan.

Reduced Movement

Lower moisture response can help board gaps remain more predictable when the material is installed correctly.

Assembly Guidelines for Decking:

  1. Set edge spacing according to the current profile instructions and installation moisture condition.
  2. Pre-drill all ends before setting fasteners.
STABILITYReduced movement after thermal modification

Reduced tangential movement supports more consistent joints through seasonal changes.

DURABILITYProduct-specific rating

Thermal modification reduces moisture uptake and changes nutrients used by decay fungi; confirm the rating for the selected profile.

PROCESSHeat and steam

Real wood modified without added wood-preservative chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scandinavian Thermo · Decking

Does Scandinavian Thermo decking need to be sealed?+

Applying a penetrating oil with UV inhibitors is recommended if you wish to maintain its honey-brown tone. Unsealed boards weather into a clean silver patina.
