ThermoForest EcoDryers are a “closed loop” system. Our EcoDryer design constantly circulates the hot air and water vapour, along with the gases and emissions from the wood, burning them off during the process.

The Superior Thermowood (STW) EcoDryer carries a host of environmental benefits. Some are obvious to the eye, while others are much less apparent, but just as important.

Concerns about chemically treated wood, from both the general public and industrial users, played an important role in our decision to consider thermowood solutions. Today there are many more reasons for change and a real need for fresh thinking.
The lumber industry has experienced a multitude of problems in recent years. There is a definite need to create products that appeal to consumers, address “value-added” demands of manufactures, and deal with mounting environmental concerns.
ThermoForest offers new solutions to an industry that’s been mired in the past for too long.
Our goal is to be the North American leader in eco-friendly thermowood, by providing our alliance partners with the facilities required to produce it. STW is particularly proud of the design advancements and the product improvements that are the result of our engineering and development, headed by Mr. Kevin Green, P. Eng. All of which has been supported by Lakehead University's wood sciences facility.
Thermowood is naturally resistant to attack from insects, rot, and moisture without the use of costly, environmentally damaging chemical treatments. Thermowood provides greatly improved insulative qualities, and the lighter weight requires less fuel in shipping. The STW process allows fast growing and underutilized species to be turned into highly desired woods for manufacturing.
Superior Thermowood’s environmental impact is clearly positive. |
