The relatively low temperatures mean the wood retains its cellular structure and creates more stable joints. After platonising, the wood absorbs less moisture, thereby reducing shrinkage and swelling. Later mould formation is also prevented because sugars (breeding ground for moulds) are broken down naturally. Check out all the advantages of Platowood.
Platowood is the only company in the world that modifies wood in this sustainable way, enhancing the properties already present in the wood, without chemical additives. This makes the wood the most environmentally friendly choice for tropical hardwood.
