Waterproof Solid Wood? Sounds Crazy, Right?
Yeah, I thought the same thing.
Until I stood barefoot on real wood... inside a shower.
A couple years ago I was in Europe on a flooring job. Walked into a bathroom at a B&B and there it was — real hardwood inside the shower.
I honestly thought they were nuts.
The owner just laughed and said, “That’s normal here.”
Meanwhile back here in the U.S., most people were still being told solid hardwood and moisture could never work together — all while Europe had already been using this technology for nearly 40 years.
Thermawood changes how we look at solid hardwood here in the U.S.
Using specialized heat and steam kilns, Thermawood permanently changes real hardwood from the inside out by removing the organic material inside the wood that naturally absorbs moisture.
Simply put:
No organic material = No cupping. No warping. No swelling.
The result is real solid hardwood flooring that can go where traditional hardwood never could.
Concrete slabs.
Radiant heat.
Bathrooms.
Basements.
Coastal homes.
And unlike plastic flooring or thin veneers, this is still real solid hardwood all the way through.
It sands, stains, and finishes just like traditional hardwood because it IS traditional hardwood.
Just built for real life.
