A thermowood terrace is a good choice for a client who wants a visually correct wooden terrace with a natural look and more stable properties. Thermowood retains the warm appearance typical of wood, but is dimensionally more stable than conventional wood.
Terrassipoisid builds thermowood terraces in Tallinn and Harjumaa. We help choose a suitable solution, plan the base and framework, and install the thermowood decking so that the terrace fits the style of the house, usage needs, and budget.
Correct installation, proper fastenings, suitable gaps, functioning ventilation, and regular maintenance are important for a thermowood terrace. Although thermowood is a treated material, it is still wood and needs cleaning and, if necessary, finishing.
Thermowood is heat-treated wood, whose properties differ from ordinary untreated wood. Heat treatment helps make the wood dimensionally more stable, which is important for a terrace because moisture, temperature, and weather affect wood in outdoor conditions.
A more stable material helps reduce wood movement, but correct installation is still very important. The terrace structure, fastenings, gaps between boards, and ventilation must be planned according to the chosen material.
Thermowood has a natural and warm appearance that goes well with both modern and more classic architecture. Its tone and texture create the cozy and natural overall impression typical of wood for the terrace.
Over time, thermowood may change tone outdoors, especially if it is not finished or maintained. If you want to maintain the original tone of the material, the terrace must be maintained and treated according to the material's recommendations.
Thermowood is well suited for a client who wants a wooden terrace but prefers a more finished and presentable solution than ordinary impregnated wood. It is well suited for a house where the terrace is a visible part of the outdoor space and daily living environment.
A thermowood terrace can be a good choice for a private house, summer cottage, recreation area, or a terrace where a natural but correct and high-quality appearance is desired.
Installation is very important for a thermowood terrace. Proper fastenings, sufficient gaps, a suitable framework, ventilation, and water drainage help reduce subsequent problems and support the longer service life of the terrace.
If thermowood is installed incorrectly, problems may arise with the movement of the decking, fastenings, water accumulation, or overall appearance. Therefore, the terrace must be planned as a whole, not just by choosing beautiful boards.
Thermowood is heat-treated wood. During the treatment, the properties of the wood are changed using high temperature, as a result of which the wood becomes dimensionally more stable and gets a characteristic darker tone.
Although heat treatment changes the properties of the wood, the material remains natural wood. This means that thermowood requires maintenance, cleaning, and, if necessary, finishing, especially if you want to maintain its appearance for as long as possible.
Thermowood from different manufacturers may vary in quality, profile, dimensions, and recommended installation method. Therefore, it is important to choose a material suitable for the specific site and follow the manufacturer's instructions during installation.
The price of building a thermowood terrace depends on the size of the terrace, the chosen thermowood decking, the condition of the base surface, the framework solution, the height of the terrace, and additional work. The price is also affected by stairs, railings, removal of the old terrace, access to the site, and the desired finish.
Thermowood is usually more expensive than simpler impregnated wood, but it offers a visually more presentable and dimensionally more stable solution. The final cost always depends on the specific site and the agreed scope of work.
For a more accurate quote, it is useful to send the approximate size of the terrace, location, desired solution, and, if possible, a photo of the existing area. This way we can better estimate the scope of work and offer a suitable solution.
First, we find out what kind of terrace the client wants: how big it should be, where the terrace is located, what kind of appearance is preferred, and what the planned use is. We also consider the budget, the style of the house, and maintenance expectations.
If the client is not sure whether to choose thermowood, impregnated wood, or WPC composite, we help compare the materials and explain their differences.
The durability of the terrace begins with the base surface. We assess what kind of surface the terrace will be built on, whether support posts are needed, what the access to the site is like, and whether the existing surface needs preparation.
The condition of the base surface affects both the scope of work and the structure of the terrace. A proper base helps prevent subsequent problems and provides a stable foundation for the terrace.
The framework must fit the size, height, and chosen thermowood decking of the terrace. A strong and correctly built framework helps ensure that the terrace remains stable and the decking is properly supported.
When planning the framework, we also take into account stairs, railings, and other details if they are part of the solution.
Proper fastenings, sufficient gaps, straight installation, and correct finishing are important when installing thermowood decking. The installation of the decking affects both the appearance and the usability of the terrace.
If the solution includes stairs, railings, or other additions, they are installed according to the agreed scope of work. The ultimate goal is a terrace that fits the house and helps make the terrace more comfortable and safer to use.
A thermowood terrace requires regular maintenance. The terrace must be cleaned of dirt, leaves, and other debris, and care must be taken to ensure that the surface does not stay damp for long. Proper maintenance helps preserve the appearance and usability of the terrace.
If you want to maintain the tone of the thermowood, a suitable finish or oil must be used according to the recommendations for the material and the manufacturer. Without maintenance, thermowood may turn greyish over time, which is a normal process for natural wood.
A well-planned and properly maintained terrace helps reduce subsequent problems and maintain better usability.
Thermowood, impregnated wood, and WPC composite suit different expectations. Impregnated wood often has a more affordable initial cost and is suitable for simpler practical solutions. At the same time, it requires regular maintenance and may have a more modest appearance.
Thermowood is suited for a client who wants a natural wooden terrace but prefers a more stable and visually presentable material. It is a good choice when the terrace is an important part of the exterior of the house.
WPC composite is suited for those who want less regular maintenance and a uniform modern appearance. However, WPC does not give the same natural feel as real wood and is usually a more expensive initial investment.
One material is not always better than another. The choice depends on the budget, the style of the house, the desired appearance, and how much maintenance you are willing to do later.
Examples of thermowood terrace solutions help you better understand what kind of terrace could suit your house, garden, and usage needs. The solution can be customized according to the size, shape, material, and additions of the terrace.
A thermowood terrace is suitable for a private house, creating a comfortable connection between the indoor space and the garden. Such a terrace can be meant for spending time with the family, placing outdoor furniture, grilling, or as a quiet recreation area.
A thermowood terrace is well suited for creating a recreation area, garden corner, or summer seating area. The material with a natural appearance and warm tone helps make the outdoor space cozier and more presentable.
If the terrace is located higher or needs convenient access from the garden or house, stairs and railings can be planned into the solution. They help make the terrace safer, more comfortable, and visually more complete.
A thermowood terrace is a terrace whose decking is made of heat-treated wood. Heat treatment changes the properties of the wood and gives the material a characteristic appearance, but the material remains natural wood.
