Mataverde Thermowood Approved for Climate-Shield Rain Screen

Written by on

Testing and evaluating thermally modified woods has been a focal point in our pursuit of innovative siding solutions. The outcome of this exploration led us to the exceptional stability and performance offered by Mataverde® ThermoWood.

Developed and tested in Scandinavia more than 20 years ago, Mataverde ThermoWood technology permanently modifies the cell walls of ordinary woods. It creates a sustainable siding material with great looks and remarkable performance. Because of its unique performance, stability and durability, Thermowood has been approved for use with the Climate-Shield Rainscreen System.

Mataverde Thermowood is real wood siding

The innovative steaming and drying process adds no chemicals or toxins to the wood. What you are left with is a thermally modified wood that performs admirably, for interior or exterior exterior use. ThermoWood siding is a sustainable natural hardwood cladding solution for rain screen projects. The ThermoWood process makes the woods very stable (little expansion and contraction) and very durable (the process cooks the sugars out of the original wood) making it very resistant to mold, insects, rot and decay.

Climate-Shield’s design flexibility, reliable fastening for a variety of both residential and commercial wall assemblies has caught the attention of many of the most widely respected architectural design firms.
