1. Create Continuity Between Interior and Exterior Spaces
 |
| Forum Braga by Barbosa and Guimarães Architects in Portugal, 2018 |
Lunawood ThermoWood® allows architects and designers to create a coherent material language across different areas of a building. By using the same wood system in façades, interiors, and transitional spaces, exterior and interior environments can communicate through a unified material expression.
2. Consider the Tactile Qualities of the Material

The touch, visual quality, and subtle scent of Lunawood ThermoWood® contribute to a natural yet refined interior atmosphere. Variations in profile width, orientation, edges, and surface treatment can be used to create spaces with depth, rhythm, and sensory character.
3. Incorporate Smooth Interior Finishes

Planed profiles made from Lunawood ThermoWood® provide a smooth surface suitable for walls, ceilings, and interior detailing. Natural features such as knots and grain variation remain visible, reinforcing the authenticity of the material while maintaining a controlled and durable finish.
4. Work with Natural Visual Variation
 |
| Lynnwood Lane Retail Center by Living Planet Architects in South Africa, 2019 |
The brown tone, grain structure, and knots of Lunawood ThermoWood® introduce a natural visual rhythm to interior spaces. Battens and panels can be installed in different directions and widths to create varied surface expressions while maintaining a consistent material palette.
5. Introduce Natural Material Comfort
 |
| Cafe Geometry of Taste by Natalia Reznik in Russia, 2019 |
Lunawood ThermoWood® is resin-free and non-toxic, making it suitable for indoor environments where material safety and comfort are important. The thermal modification process produces a stable wood structure that supports long-term indoor performance.
6. Improve Acoustic Comfort with Wood Surfaces
 |
| Project Ö by Aleksi Hautamäki in Finland, 2019 |
Walls, ceilings, and floors finished with Lunawood ThermoWood® help soften sound within a space. Wood surfaces reduce echo by breaking and diffusing sound reflections, contributing to more comfortable acoustic conditions in workplaces, public interiors, and residential environments.
7. Specify ThermoWood® for Humid Interior Environments
 |
| Hotel Kaktus by Byko + Maria Gelpí in Spain, 2019 |
The improved dimensional stability of Lunawood ThermoWood® supports reliable performance in interior spaces exposed to humidity and temperature variation, such as spas, saunas, and wellness environments.
8. Select the Appropriate Interior Profile
 |
| Sample room in Lahti office |
For interior surfaces, Lunawood ThermoWood® is available in multiple profile types that support different spatial and design requirements:
- Tongue-and-groove paneling
- Planed individual battens
- Textured or three-dimensional panels
9. Plan Maintenance and Surface Treatment
 |
| Air Base Hotel by Studio WG3 & ZT Geldner in Austria |
Lunawood ThermoWood® is resin-free, which supports consistent finishing and reduces maintenance requirements. Standard interior finishes such as paints, oils, waxes, and varnishes can be applied to enhance appearance and protect the surface.
10. Follow Installation Best Practices
 |
| Kitzbühellodges by CP Architektur in Austria |
