Why NovaThermowood Is Ideal for Pool Projects?

Novawood Thermowood is produced with premium standards and advanced thermal modification technology, making it especially suitable for demanding outdoor environments. Its natural beauty, high durability, and long-lasting performance provide an excellent solution for pool areas that require both aesthetics and resilience.

Pool projects are among the most demanding outdoor designs in terms of both aesthetics and durability. Constant humidity, water splashes, temperature fluctuations, and heavy use directly affect the performance of materials. Therefore, material selection is critical for ensuring the safety, comfort, and longevity of a pool area. Thermowood, which combines superior performance against all these challenges with its natural appearance and modern design compatibility, is an ideal outdoor solution. In this article, we explain the role of Thermowood in pool projects.

Thermowood Properties for Pool Environments

Materials selected for pool surroundings must offer high resistance to water, moisture, and climate conditions. Thanks to thermal modification technology, Thermowood is far more stable, durable, and safe compared to traditional wood.

Thermowood’s performance in areas exposed to humidity and water

  • Thermowood features low water absorption, ensuring excellent dimensional stability.
     

  • Offers high stability against continuous wet–dry cycles.
     

  • Increased resistance to decay and fungal formation.
     

  • Maintains its form for many years in pool areas.
     

These characteristics make Thermowood the most reliable natural surface solution for wet environments.

How does it balance natural appearance and durability?

Thermowwood:

  • Gains increased durability through an entirely natural, chemical-free process.
     

  • Preserves the authentic texture of wood and provides a homogeneous color.
     

  • Delivers surfaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting due to enhanced durability.
     

This combination of naturalness and performance makes Thermowood unique in pool projects.

How Do Thermowood Decks Provide Advantages Around the Pool?

Deck surfaces are the most critical areas around the pool in terms of both safety and aesthetics. Thermowood decks are among the safest and most long-lasting solutions thanks to their comfort-enhancing features.

 How does the slip-resistant surface enhance safety?

  • The natural texture of wood offers high slip resistance, even when wet.
     

  • The tactile friction underfoot increases user safety.
     

  • Provides a major safety advantage, especially in hotels preferred by families with children.
     

Since slip resistance is one of the most important criteria in pool safety, Thermowood decks are frequently used in professional projects.

Why Replace Traditional Wood with Thermowood in Pool Surroundings?

Traditional wood cannot always provide the desired performance against the harsh conditions around a pool. Thermowood eliminates these disadvantages thanks to the thermal modification process.

What does a low swelling–shrinkage rate provide?

  • Reduces the risk of gaps and warping on deck surfaces over time.
     

  • Prevents deformation in the installed surface in the long term.
     

  • Maintains the smoothness of the surface for years.
     

Thermowood’s low movement rate is one of the main determinants of outdoor comfort.

How does thermal modification increase durability?

Thermal modification:

  • Increases resistance to decay,
     

  • Reduces the water-holding capacity of the cell structure,
     

  • Stabilizes the fiber structure,
     

  • Provides protection against thermal cycles.
     

This makes Thermowood exceptionally long-lasting even in extremely humid environments such as pools.

Which Thermowood Species Are Most Suitable for Pool Projects?

The following species are commonly preferred in poolside applications:

  • Thermo Ayous: Ideal for façade and deck applications thanks to its lightness, high stability, and modern appearance.
     

  • Thermo Pine: Suitable for high-traffic pool surroundings with its durability and solid structure.
     

  • Iroko: Frequently used in luxury pool projects thanks to its naturally oily structure and superior outdoor performance.
     

Species selection should be based on project scale, climate conditions, usage intensity, and design preferences.

What Are the Aesthetic Contributions of Thermowood in Pool Projects?

Thermowood stands out not only for its durability but also for its natural aesthetic that harmonizes with modern architecture.

Impact on minimalist and modern pool designs

  • Its smooth texture and even surface complement minimalist design lines.
     

  • Creates a natural luxury appearance compatible with modern architecture.
     

  • Blends seamlessly with a wide range of architectural materials.
     

Advantages of color stability and natural texture

  • Wood achieves a more homogeneous color after thermal modification.
     

  • Gradually develops a natural patina that grays over time in a controlled manner.
     

  • The original color can be preserved for many years by applying the appropriate surface protectives, as specified in the manufacturer’s TDS.
     

These features make Thermowood suitable for both modern and natural-themed pool concepts.

What Are the Maintenance Requirements of Thermowood in Pool Projects?

Thermowood is ideal for pool areas because it requires far less maintenance than traditional wood.

  • Regular surface cleaning is sufficient.
     

  • The surface can be refreshed with outdoor oils once or twice a year.
     

  • Low water absorption minimizes deformation risks.
     

  • UV protectors enhance color stability.
     

Its long lifespan and low maintenance cost make Thermowood a highly advantageous investment.
