There is an emerging group of thermally modified timbers. One is Abodo with Vulcan. They are created by slightly different (patented) means, but the process typically involves heating lower grade less durable softwoods, such as pine, at high temperatures (230 degerees C) in order to remove moisture and resin and permanently enhance them.

 

This product is very effective at improving the durability of pine, but is usually more expensive than premium natural timbers. 

​

The timber maybe injected with chemicals as Thermally modified pine is not always resistant to termites. Making it undesirable for those who are environmentally minded.

 

The result of these manufacturing processes is a very durable and stable product that preforms much like Redwood.

 

Do check with the supplier whether the product will require treatment with installation.
