Steamed ash is extremely durable wood, with durability class 2 to even 1. The wood is heated up to over 180 degrees Celsius in an oxygen-poor environment. This process (thermally modification) ensures in a 100% environmentally friendly way that the wood will not retain water. As a result, it does not decay and can survive outside for up to 25 years.

Thermally modification is applied to different types of wood. We have chosen ash because it’s a tough and strong wood with a coarse grain. Due to these characteristics, the wood will not break easily under stress, making it ideal for furniture. And thanks to the extra durability that it gets from the modification process, steamed ash is a perfect option for garden furniture.
