Production process of KUUKS lining

1. Drying in a dryer

The boards are dried to reduce the moisture content to approximately 0–5%.

2. Thermal modification

The wood is heated to 180–215 °C in a kiln with controlled oxygen levels. This heat changes the cellular structure, reducing hygroscopicity and nutrient availability.

3. Steam treatment

During the process, steam is used to prevent the wood from cracking and stabilize its internal structure.

4. Controlled cooling and humidity balancing

The wood is gradually cooled and equilibrated to the target moisture level (around 4%).

5. Sorting and classification

Final inspection of flatness, surface quality and classification into class A or AB.

Application of KUUKS cladding

KUUKS Thermo pine for facades and terraces is designed for long-term outdoor use and requires minimal maintenance to maintain its performance and appearance.
With proper maintenance, the lifespan of wood cladding is over 30 years.

Recommended maintenance

First maintenance:

Sunny sides (south/west): re-oil or re-coat after 5 years
shaded/northern sides: first maintenance is only required after 8 years

Further maintenance:

After the first treatment, check the condition and reapply oil or coating every 5–7 years (depending on climate and exposure).
If left untreated, the wood will naturally take on a silver-gray patina over time, without affecting its structural durability.

General advice

For facade cladding:

It is necessary to ensure adequate ventilation behind the cladding.
Clean the surface occasionally with mild soap and water to remove dust or biological deposits.

For terraces (decking):

it is necessary to regularly remove leaves and dirt
avoid water retention by ensuring proper drainage
After cleaning, oil should be applied to preserve the color and condition of the surface.
