Knowing more about wood varieties and characteristics will assist you in making the right choice:

Thermo wood: (Recommended)

An environmentally friendly alternative to pressure-impregnated wood, and it is resistant to harsh weather conditions, fungi, and rot. Great durability, dimensional stability, and thermal performance are all benefits of this material.

It is one of the best choices, treatment and maintenance is easy.

Ten Spa recommends to treat any wood surface every 6 months to protect the wood from losing its aesthetically pleasing appearance over time.

Spruce:

Despite being lightweight and soft, spruce wood has excellent strength and elasticity characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It doesn’t shrink much and remains stable when dry, but its low natural durability can be compensated for by applying a protective coating of paint.

Considering the nature of the product, the curved steps made from spruce may require more attention to maintenance then other types of wood.

Larch: (Recommended)

It is one of the toughest softwood, has high-density and is less vulnerable to knocks and scratches

Because of its density and the presence of natural rot and decay resistance, Larch requires little maintenance.

Ten Spa will treat the wood in natural oils, initial colour will be pale yellow/golden brown the colour will gradually change to silvery grey if left untreated for too long.

As standard Ten Spa will treat the material in natural oils, regardless of chosen material, so you can enjoy a fully complete production.
