Timber Design & Technology Middle East is a bi-monthly magazine (in hard copy
& online) for the Middle East’s buyers, end users and specifiers of wood and related machinery and products. The publication offers news, analysis and in-depth features examining all issues relating to the regional timber sector, targeting a wide spectrum of readers including furniture manufacturers, joinery companies, specifiers (architects & designers), importers and distributors, woodworking professionals and flooring specialists amongst others. With the region’s construction and interior design sectors regaining momentum following the global economic crisis, Timber Design & Technology aims to offer an unbiased and accurate representation of the wood industry in the Middle East.
For advertisers, the magazine and news portal offers an ideal platform to target decision-makers involved with the timber and associated industries. For readers, the promise of the latest news, technologies and trends affecting the industry and a commitment to fair and unbiased reporting remains the cornerstone of the publication. Working closely with the leading players across the industry, the magazine aims to establish itself as a reference for professionals and firms working within the sector.
OVERVIEW
Timber Design & Technology offers value-added services including:
• Targeted advertising and media strategy• Inserts and supplements• Seminars, panel discussions and dedicated conferences• Online marketing and e-marketing options• Market research and consultancy services

PROPERTIES
Color: The color of thermally modified wood is determined by treatment time and temperature. Color may vary from light brown to a deep roasted brown.
Dimensional Stability: Thermally modified wood significantly reduces the ability of the modified wood to absorb water. This limits the amount of swelling or shrinking associated with non-thermally modified kiln-dried wood.
Density: Thermally modified wood has a slightly lower density than non-thermally modified kiln-dried wood. This is mainly due to the removal of sugars and other non-essential organic compounds during the treatment process.
Permeability: Thermally modified wood is 20-30 percent lower in permeability than that of normal kiln-dried samples.
Thermal Conductivity: Thermally modified wood has a thermal conductivity that is 20-25 percent lower compared to untreated wood.
Resistance to insect attack: Thermally modified wood has no food source for wood-destroying insects. Insects may bore into a piece of thermally modified wood, but will not infest the piece due to the lack of a food source.
Fire Resistance: Thermal modification does not significantly alter resistance to fire.
Biological Durability: Thermally modified wood demonstrates a remarkable ability to resist decay by brown rot. Test results do indicate that thermally modified wood should not be used in ground contact applications where structural performance is required.
Weather Resistance: Thermally modified wood will change color over a period of time from the original brown to a grayish weathered color and may also develop light surface checking when exposed to direct sunlight. The original color and surface integrity may be preserved with pigmented or UV-protective non-toxic coatings.
Leachate: Thermally modified wood is not subject to chemical leaching issues.
Surface Hardness: Thermal modification does not significantly change the surface hardness of wood of the same species.
Bending Strength: Thermally modified wood has a slightly reduced modulus of rupture, though no significant reduction in modulus of elasticity when compared to kiln-dried wood of the same species.
Compression Strength: The thermal modification process has no significant effect on the compression strength values.
Splitting Strength: The thermal modification process can cause some reduction in the splitting strength.
Screw Extraction: The thermal modification process has no significant effect on screw extraction resistance.

properties. By processing wood produced
from America’s well-managed hardwood
forests, Cambia provides an affordable,
domestically-sourced, environmentally-
friendly alternative to imported hardwoods
that often are illegally harvested from
endangered tropical rainforests.
The thermal modification process
limits the ability of wood to absorb
moisture, so Cambia products are more
dimensionally stable and less prone to cup,
warp and twist with changes in relative
humidity. This increase in dimensional
stability significantly extends the
service life of applied finishes, thereby
reducing maintenance costs. The thermal
modification process also removes those
nutrients in wood that would otherwise
provide a food source for insects and
wood-destroying fungi. As a result, Cambia
products do not contain any toxic chemicals
to improve longevity and performance.
The thermal modification process also
sequesters carbon within the wood, giving
Cambia products a rich brown color and
appearance; and the uniform coloration
of Cambia products rival that of many
imported tropical hardwood species.
Thermally modified wood was introduced
in Europe in the early 1990’s and has since
become widely accepted and utilized for
both interior and exterior applications.
Cambia accepts stains and finishes that
have been formulated for non-modified
hardwoods as the thermal modification
minimizes the difference in early and
late wood densities, actually allowing
paints and stains to last longer. Thermally
modified wood is also extremely durable;
the wood is rot and insect resistant, and
as there are no toxic chemicals involved,
special handling precautions and scrap
waste disposal are not issues. Testing by
an independent testing lab placed Cambia™
Yellow Poplar in the highest durability
rating class achievable for rot and decay
resistance. Currently available in a selection
of domestic hardwoods and prefabricated
components, Cambia hardwoods are most
commonly used for siding, decking, lumber
and site furniture.
The Green ChoiceCambia wood may be the first truly green
lumber resource that performs better and
costs less than alternative wood species and
substitute products developed to replace
wood. A significant percentage (up to 80
percent) of the energy required to thermally
transform wood using the Cambia process
comes from the wood itself, making the
process not only energy-efficient, but also

environmentally friendly as no chemicals
are used to preserve the wood and no
pollutants are emitted to the environment,
thereby enabling it to have a low carbon
footprint.
Cambia adds value and utility to wood
harvested from sustainably managed temperate
forests, thereby promoting responsible and
sustainable forestry practices. The enhanced
performance of Cambia thermally modified
wood makes it an environmentally responsible
alternative to wood produced from tropical
rainforests. Further, Cambia wood scrap is
easily disposed of as it can be burned or
landfilled without adverse environmental
impact. As a testament to its environmental
credentials, Cambia products are available with
a FSC certification and can qualify for 100
percent valuation under the LEED ‘certified
wood credit’ (MRc7). Cambia is currently
available in red oak, poplar, white ash and soft
maple lumber.
Working with CambiaDespite the thermal modification, Cambia
wood is still wood. The mechanical and
chemical properties unique to each species
modified remain roughly the same as before
the thermal modification process. As such,
Cambia wood can still be worked with all
standard woodworking tools, though the
use of carbides will definitely extend the
life of cutting edges. Sawdust produced
from sawing and planing operations is
generally finer than that of non-modified
wood, possibly requiring better quality dust
masks and more frequent cleaning of dust
collection systems. In addition, material
safety data information for kiln-dried
wood remains unchanged by the thermal
modification process.
