Thermo Frake / Limba
The Durable Choice with Character
Thermo Frake (also known as Limba) is the ideal proposal for professionals seeking a material that combines the aesthetic of exotic hardwoods with the superior technical properties of thermal modification. The thermo-modification process transforms Frake into an exceptionally stable material, eliminating the tendencies for shrinking and swelling. It acquires a deep, rich brown hue that highlights its unique grain and the characteristic natural “pinholes” of the species, offering a distinctive, rustic result.
With available cross-sections of 20x117mm and 20x140mm, and lengths reaching up to 4200mm, planed Frake is ready for immediate use in demanding projects. It is the preferred choice for architects and furniture makers aiming for:
• External Wall Cladding: High resistance to weather conditions without the need for chemical preservatives.
• Modern Furniture Making: A unique aesthetic identity for minimal or industrial designs.
• Shading Elements & Pergolas: Due to its low weight and high rigidity.
For timber merchants and large-scale contractors, Thermo Frake represents an ecological and sustainable alternative to tropical species, offering consistent quality and timeless durability for every application.
