This process involves the alteration of the wood’s cellular structure, resulting in improved technical characteristics and significantly heightened strength and durability. Natural wood contains “free hydroxyl groups” that interact with and release moisture as weather conditions change.
Consequently, untreated wood is prone to expansion and contraction, especially when utilized outdoors for purposes like siding, window frames, and door frames. The fluctuation in wood’s dimensions often leads to cracking and decay, thereby affecting its overall lifespan.
This inherent property makes regular wood vulnerable to expansion and contraction, especially when utilized outdoors for applications like siding, window frames, and door frames.
