Wood flooring is a traditional and warm interior element. End tongue-and-groove reduces waste. The product is suitable for heated indoor spaces. Pine floorboards are light in color when installed but darken over time. In addition to its natural color, the wood floor can be treated in nearly any color. The floorboard is edge-beveled.

Highlighting Wood’s Best Qualities with Surface Treatment

Surface treatment brings out the best in wood and tailors high-quality timber to its intended use. Beyond durability and fire safety, it adds color that perfectly complements your project.

Durability and versatility can be further enhanced with industrial painting or finishing suited to your needs. Pre-finished or treated wood also speeds up and simplifies work during tight construction or renovation schedules.

Wood is a high-quality, versatile material that, after industrial painting or surface treatment, performs even better in various conditions. Our extensive practical experience and expertise in wood finishing guide us on how to treat material for different applications.

Not all wood requires finishing before use, but treatments can highlight specific properties. For example, sauna wood benefits from protective coatings designed to withstand high temperatures and humidity. Surface treatment can also extend a wood product’s lifespan.

The choice of treatment often depends on the wood’s application. Properly treated wood adds structure and character to interior and exterior surfaces. Opaque painting or translucent finishes allow you to achieve the exact color that best fits your interior design and overall building aesthetic.

All painting and finishing work is done in our industrial paint shop. We use water-based, eco-friendly coatings and paints from reputable manufacturers. Our fire-retardant treatments can bring wood to a B-s1, d0 fire class.

To operate as environmentally responsibly as possible, a batch must be at least 500 meters. This minimizes raw material waste and keeps our operations efficient.

Giant arborvitae is soft and can be easily dented, so it should be handled carefully before installation.

Considerations for Installing Giant Arborvitae Products

To achieve a uniform finish, it is recommended to sort the panels by color before installation. For example, place lighter panels in one stack and darker or patterned panels in separate stacks. During installation, alternate panels from each stack so that each color is evenly distributed across the surface. This ensures a consistent and even-looking panel finish.

It is recommended to use stainless steel fasteners during installation due to the wood's natural acidity.

The density of the wood can vary significantly, even within the same board. This may present challenges when planing giant arborvitae, potentially causing rougher areas after planing. Similarly, moisture content can vary within a single piece. However, seasonal movement due to moisture is relatively minor compared to spruce or pine. During production, the product undergoes KD (kiln drying) treatment by controlling the kiln temperature, resulting in a moisture content of 8–14%.

Handling of Giant Thuja

Paraffin or another type of oil treatment protects the wood from getting dirty and makes it easier to keep clean. Oil treatment always deepens the wood’s natural tone. To see the final shade, you can first test the treatment on, for example, a sample piece. Giant thuja does not need separate treatment against mold or rot. The wood contains natural chemicals that repel insects, decay fungi, and mold fungi. The wood has good fire resistance and burns poorly.

Maintenance and Care of Giant Thuja

Giant thuja benches should be cleaned at least once a year. After washing, make sure the wood can dry thoroughly. Chlorine treatment or pressure washing is not recommended.

Wood flooring is a durable and attractive material that suits a wide range of interiors. With floorboards, you can create a stylish wooden floor that is easy to maintain and restore to like-new condition over time. We offer floorboards in various sizes and styles. The characteristics of floorboards vary between products, so choosing the right one for your space is important to achieve the desired result. The product information provides detailed descriptions of each board’s intended use.

Applications

The timeless and popular floor plank is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects, as well as modern and traditional cottages. Its extremely long lifespan and easy upkeep make it a sought-after material. Changing the surface colour is simple during sanding and refinishing. Choosing the right product is important due to the natural movement of wood.

Floorboards for Warm Indoor Spaces

Floorboards with a moisture content of 8–12% are intended for warm indoor areas. You can also find these products under the Tuuli Sauna and Tuuli Indoor product ranges.

Floorboards for Outdoor and Unheated Spaces

Floorboards with a higher moisture content (18%) are suitable for spaces that are not kept warm year-round. You can also find these products in the Arctic Indoor product range.

Giant Thuja as a Construction and Interior Material

Giant thuja is valued as a building and interior material for its unique appearance and excellent moisture resistance, making it an ideal choice for sauna paneling or benches.

Because the trunk of a giant thuja can reach several meters in diameter, the finished products typically feature significant colour variation. The sapwood has a reddish tone, while the heartwood is dark brown. This natural variation creates a beautiful, vibrant surface for interior walls and ceilings. During installation, panels should be sorted so that different shades are evenly distributed across the entire area, ensuring a harmonious overall look.

The Best You Can Choose for a Sauna!

The natural colour variation of giant thuja—also known as western red cedar—creates a stunning, lively surface for both interior walls and ceilings. Thanks to its excellent moisture resistance and minimal dimensional changes, giant thuja is an ideal material for sauna paneling and benches.

We source only the best possible timber from Canada. The blanks are 6” x 6–12” (152 mm x 152–304 mm) and are sawn to planing-ready dimensions in-house. This allows us to ensure the wood is radially sawn. The blanks are also dried in Finland to a target moisture content of 8–14%.

We plane the panels and bench boards according to Finnish RT card dimension guidelines, and all giant thuja panels feature a hidden nailing tongue. Product lengths are billed based on foot measurements, converted directly to centimeters with exact precision. Over 96% of our giant thuja products are straight-grained (radially sawn). We aim to avoid mixed-grain blanks (containing both radial and vertical grain). By controlling the cutting phase of the blanks, we can strongly influence the final grain direction of the product.
