Wood treatments
Ao tratarmos a madeira, não fazemos mais do que contribuir para a sustentabilidade dos recursos florestais. Sabemos que a madeira sem tratamento, se exposta a determinadas condições, tem uma vida que não ascende aos dois ou três anos, pois a natureza tem um conjunto de agentes e predadores que levam à sua destruição.
Com a madeira tratada por diferentes processos conseguimos aumentar a sua longevidade até 15 vezes e, por consequente, reduzir o seu consumo em larga medida.
Autoclave treatment
Autoclave treatment is a chemical process using vacuum and pressure. Toscca treats wood in accordance with standard EN 335-1, which guarantees long-lasting treatment of all sapwood, regardless of its size.
A segurança e o rigor do nosso processo de tratamento asseguram a garantia de 20 anos contra o apodrecimento, mesmo quando a madeira está exposta às intempéries e em contacto direto com o solo.
The latest technology allows us to treat with a green, brown or grey color. The chemical process and the fungicide agent used are always the same, and what changes the color of the wood at the end of the process is the pigment that is added to it.
Velature treatment
Tratamento com produtos à base de água, que protegem a madeira contra insetos e raios UV, para além de oferecem coloração e resistência à água.
Water-based varnishes guarantee the wood's durability outdoors, provided there is no direct contact with the ground or prolonged exposure to moisture.
We offer a wide range of varnishes with transparent or opaque finishes. The transparent ones maintain the natural texture of the wood, while the opaque ones offer a matte finish, enhancing the color of the applied varnish.

Modified Term
O tratamento Termo Modificado consiste em madeira tratada termicamente, que passa por um processo que envolve a exposição da madeira a altas temperaturas (geralmente entre 160°C e 230°C) em um ambiente controlado de vapor e sem oxigênio.
Esse tratamento é feito para melhorar propriedades da madeira, como a durabilidade e a resistência a fatores ambientais, sem a adição de produtos químicos.
It is widely used outdoors for decking, facades, cladding and garden furniture, as it resists weather, fungi and pests well and is very stable. It can also be used indoors and is ideal for humid environments such as saunas, spas and areas around swimming pools, due to its low water absorption and resistance to deformation.
Risk Classes
In this image, we see a house that highlights the classification of the woods used in its construction, organized from 1 to 4 according to risk class. Hover over each number to read the legend with more information about each one.
Class 1
Situations in which wood is used inside a building but is not exposed to weather and humidity (parquet, cladding, etc.).
Class 2
Situations where the wood is covered and not exposed to the weather, but where it may be subject to occasional but not persistent wetting (roof structures, load-bearing structures, load-bearing wall structures, etc.).
Class 3.1
Situations where the wood is above ground and exposed to the weather. The products will not remain damp for long periods. Water does not accumulate (sheltered coverings, sheltered rooms but in a humid environment, etc.).
Class 3.2
Situations where the wood is above ground and exposed to the weather. Products will remain damp for long periods. Water can accumulate (cladding, screens, shingles, fences, pergolas, certain types of decking, etc.).
Class 4
Situations where the wood or wood-based material is in direct contact with soil and/or fresh water, or where the design leads to significant water retention (certain terraces, posts, soil retainers, sleepers, swimming pools, etc.).
