• Benefits: This process enhances the following properties of the wood:
  • Durability: Significantly increases resistance to rot, decay, and insect infestation, allowing for longer lifespans compared to untreated wood.
  • Dimensional Stability: Reduces swelling and shrinkage due to moisture fluctuations, making it suitable for exterior applications.
  • Fire Resistance: Offers improved fire retardancy properties.
• Applications: Tricoya is primarily used in various exterior and high-moisture environments due to its enhanced durability and stability.
  • Examples include:
    • Doors and windows
    • Cladding and facades
    • Decking and outdoor furniture
    • Soffits and fascias

Sustainability:

• Tricoya emphasizes their commitment to sustainable practices:
  • Uses wood sourced from sustainably managed forests certified by independent organizations.
