It resists moisture better, absorbing less water, releasing the absorbed water without warpage. It’s antibacterial, resists mould, fungi and pests, therefore it is also recommended for outdoor use.

Blokkwood timber is lighter and harder, retaining the wood’s natural features, accentuating the annual growth rings and the grain structure, which is an important design feature.

Such value-added Blokkwood timber can be sold at a higher price.

The timber’s processing time may be shortened; pre-drying and the Blokkwood treatment itself may be performed in the Blokkwood ovens, meaning the timber does not have to be heated up repeatedly. This can increase production efficiency, and time and energy can be saved with a reduced environmental load.

The Blokkwood timber is proven to be chemical-free, increasing the lifecycle of products.

Its scope of application is very broad, be it:

• Carpentry and joinery or interior decoration
  (e.g. outdoor and indoor furniture, wall cladding, acoustic panels, picture frames, lamps, decorative items, tables, chairs, kitchen worktop, (finger jointed) clampboards, stairs, balusters, flooring and saunas),
• Outdoor items (e.g. outdoor flooring, barriers, gazebos, flower beds, gates, fences, sandboxes and wall cladding),
• Musical instruments.

The tests of other species, mostly exotic ones, are also underway.

Basically, timber with moisture content between 18-25% may be treated, but treating timber with moisture content as high as 30-40% is also possible by extending the duration of treatment.

We currently operate 2 Blokkwood ovens with the following dimensions:

1. One with a capacity of 1 m3 in which 3 m long, 20 cm wide, 1” or 2” thick edged planks may be treated,
2. One with a capacity of 3 m3 for treating 4 m long, 20 cm wide, 1” or 2” thick sawntimber.

1. Good quality Class 1 or select material with moisture content between 20-35%,
2. A Blokkwood oven and the heating panels, and the catalyst in the panel containing the special salt,
3. The precise treatment sequence adjusted to the timber species to control the oven’s operation.

If you’d like to make use of this business opportunity and use the Blokkwood technology, you may also visit Blokkwood’s operating plant in Hungary, following preliminary consultation and setting an appointment.

Using and adapting the Blokkwood technology for private business purposes is possible by purchasing the Blokkwood licence rights and by becoming a franchise partner.

The licence rights includes the selected thermal treatment oven and the related accessories, programmes, know-how, sales rights and the complete marketing support.

The technology is under continuous development, therefore the earlier accreditations must be renewed, which is currently underway. At present, the general tests performed in our laboratory evidence the advantageous effects of the Blokkwood technology on timber.

Blokkwood timber has a longer lifespan than untreated timber, therefore the guarantee for certain products made from Blokkwood timber may be extended beyond that specified by the corresponding legal regulations.

A condition for applying the Blokkwood technology is joining the Blokkwood franchise system.

The membership provides the possibility of using the innovative Blokkwood technology, allowing you to expand your existing markets and ensure competitive market advantage.

We assist members in introducing the technology, provide every centrally obtained independent accreditation and all treatment schedules elaborated as a result of continuous development. In addition, we provide extensive marketing, service and support assistance, which not only add to the efficiency of sales, but also achieve significant cost cutting.

Through appropriate adaptation of the technology, a long-term profitable business may be developed and maintained.

The Blokkwood Franchise system is only accessible for timber businesses that possess the financial resources, site and resources required to join the system.

It is primarily recommended to experienced timber professionals.

The membership is not tied to special licences and qualifications. The development of an already existing timber enterprise, expanding its scope of services with the Blokkwood is certainly an advantageous position.

On the infrastructural end, the site must have 140 A-180 A, 400 V/50 Hz power supply as a minimum.

The Franchise package includes

• The know-how,
• The oven required for the treatment,
• The electric stack loading and unloading cart,
• The electric heating panels produced for the oven, filled with the catalyst,
• The timber treatment programmes and their continuous updating service,
• The marketing and sales support,
• The service and maintenance background,
• Continuous training and professional support,
• Certifications and accreditations.

The franchise fees depend on the number and size of the ovens requested.

1. One time entry fee from EUR 200,000.00
2. Monthly royalty from EUR 1,000.00
3. In addition, it may be necessary to reconstruct or expand the site infrastructure, which is the franchise partner’s task.

Further information will be sent electronically, after filling the questionnaire found on the blokkwood.eu webpage.
