Natural materials have always been popular. Now they are also attracting the attention of builders, including the thermo ash planken. In this article, we'll cover everything about thermo ash planken.

Peculiarities

This material is one of the varieties of the facade board made of heat-treated ash. At the same time, chamfers are removed on all 4 edges. As a result, the edges of the finished material have either beveled or rounded corners. If we talk about the external characteristics of the thermo ash plank, then it is a bit like a deck or terrace board. In addition, it is not inferior in quality to expensive wood species.

However, the main difference is its thickness, which is within 15–23 centimeters.

The width of the board varies from 7 to 14 centimeters. To obtain planken, wood is initially processed in a sealed chamber. After that, it acquires several unique features.

Among the pluses, it is worth noting the following:

  • planken differs from other boards in its low weight, therefore, when using it for facades, the owners should not worry about the load on the foundation;
  • a thermal tree differs from other materials in that it does not swell, and also does not warp;

  • thermo ash lends itself to tinting;
  • facade decoration with thermal wood is simple and convenient, because work does not require the use of special equipment, which allows even beginners to cope with the work;
  • ash planken is not afraid of temperature changes, and is also not exposed to moisture;
  • this material increases the performance of thermal and sound insulation;
  • in case of damage to a certain area, it can be easily restored;

Views

There are such varieties of planken, which differ from each other in the cut of the chamfers, as:

  • A straight cut resembles a rectangle with slightly rounded edges; such panels are mounted end-to-end, while maintaining small gaps, the facade is voluminous and beautiful;
  • The oblique cut is made in the form of a parallelogram; installation takes place end-to-end, while the oblique edges perfectly cover all the gaps that are joined, which prevents moisture from entering;
  • Straight with grooves; has a special mount, for example, "bridge" or "crab".

  1. Extra class products differ from others in high quality; boards have no chips or minimal damage; such a planken will be an excellent decoration for any facade;
  2. Prima boards may have slight chips or damage, as well as cracks on the entire surface;
  3. Class AB products may have not only small cracks, but also knots or other small flaws around the entire perimeter;
  4. "VS" class boards are distinguished by the presence of a large number of defects over the entire surface of the boards; in addition to knots, there are also areas with dark spots.
