Rectangular container for bath accessories or guest towels. Height 10 cm, width 25 cm, depth 12.5 cm. Products made from oiled thermo ash have a huge advantage over natural wood products in terms of their high moisture resistance, which makes them ideal for use in damp rooms and in the open air. The ash wood, which is already very strong by nature, is heated over a period of up to 48 hours in the absence of oxygen to temperatures between 180 and 220 °C – the initial slight smoky aroma goes away over time. This reduces swelling and shrinking of the wood, while increasing its rigidity and resistance to decay. The main advantage of this treatment, however, is that water absorption is greatly reduced, which means that thermowood products do not become saturated after being in contact with water for a long time, which is normally only guaranteed with tropical woods such as teak or bangkirai. Compared to using tropical woods, products made from thermowood are completely harmless from an ecological perspective. The dark colour comes about as a result of the thermal treatment, which eliminates the need for staining – bleaching caused by sunlight is still possible, however.
