Rhinowood: Revolutionizing Wood for Indoor and Outdoor Excellence

Discover Rhinowood, a groundbreaking advancement in modified wood that redefines strength and durability for both interior and exterior applications. Born from cutting-edge wood science, Rhinowood transforms sustainable plantation pine into a powerhouse material by infusing it with a space-age wax, rivaling the resilience of tropical hardwoods.

The Science Behind the Strength
Rhinowood begins with thermal modification, a process where wood is heated to 420°F in a specialized pressurized tank, shielded by steam. This steam not only protects the wood but also triggers chemical changes, expelling organic compounds from its cells. The result? A naturally darkened, durable wood—resistant to water, insects, and decay—perfectly suited for extreme conditions, even unfinished.

Taking Durability to the Next Level
Rhinowood elevates this foundation with a unique two-step process:

  • Step 1: Thermal Modification – Reduces moisture content below 5%, transforming white pine into a stunning tawny golden Teak-colored hue.
  • Step 2: Pressure Wax Infusion – Impregnates the wood with a non-toxic, high-performance wax that solidifies within the cells. Stable up to 260°F, this wax ensures Rhinowood thrives in the harshest climates—coastal or inland, mountains to the hot, dry deserts—with minimal maintenance.

Eco-Friendly and Safe
Rhinowood is 100% natural, free of toxic substances and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it safe for people, pets, and the planet. Sourced from sustainably grown wood plantations, it’s an environmentally responsible choice that doesn’t compromise on quality.

Performance Meets Beauty
Weighing approximately 5 lbs. per board foot—comparable to premium Ipe—Rhinowood combines exceptional strength with dimensional stability. Its rich, Teak-like appearance often leads to comparisons with exotic hardwoods, but its innovative European technology sets it apart, converting softwoods into a hardwood-caliber material once thought impossible.

Versatility Without Limits
Rhinowood delivers longevity and low upkeep in any setting. This versatile, natural marvel represents the pinnacle of modern wood innovation.
