Toasted timber is thermally modified timber — natural wood enhanced through a controlled process using only heat and steam, with no chemicals. This changes the wood at a cellular level, making it more stable, more durable and better suited to long-term use, especially in challenging environments. How It's Made The timber is placed into a specialised kiln, where it undergoes three key stages: Drying: the wood is gently heated to remove moisture. Thermal Modification: the temperature is raised to approximately 160–230°C, altering the timber's structure using only heat and steam. Cooling & Conditioning: the timber is slowly cooled and a small amount of moisture is reintroduced to improve workability. This natural transformation reduces the timber's ability to absorb water, enhances its resistance to decay, and gives it a rich, warm brown tone throughout the entire piece.
