Beyond Wood: Introducing ThermaFusion for Unmatched Durability in Outdoor Furniture

At Lakeland Mills, we are constantly innovating to provide our partners with furniture that not only embodies timeless rustic appeal but also boasts exceptional longevity. While our natural Northern White Cedar is inherently durable, we've gone "beyond wood" with our revolutionary ThermaFusion™ process, creating outdoor furniture that stands up to the harshest elements with unparalleled resilience. For dealers and drop shippers seeking truly durable outdoor living solutions for their customers, ThermaFusion™ represents an innovative leap forward.

What is ThermaFusion™?

ThermaFusion™ is a cutting-edge thermal modification process that transforms select lumber, enhancing its natural properties without the use of harsh chemicals. Through controlled heat and steam, the wood's cellular structure is permanently altered. This results in a material that is significantly more stable, resistant to moisture, and less susceptible to the natural forces that cause wear and tear in traditional outdoor wood furniture. It's a sophisticated, eco-friendly approach to creating superior durability.

How ThermaFusion™ Enhances Durability

The benefits of ThermaFusion™ are substantial, particularly for furniture exposed to the varying conditions of the outdoors:

• Exceptional Weather Resistance: The thermal modification process makes the wood significantly less hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs much less moisture. This dramatically improves its weather resistance, making ThermaFusion™ furniture ideal for all climates, from humid summers to freezing winters. It resists swelling, shrinking, and warping, maintaining its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal season after season.
• Reduced Cracking and Checking: Because the wood becomes more dimensionally stable through ThermaFusion™, it is far less prone to the cracking, checking, and splitting commonly seen in traditional lumber as it dries and expands with moisture changes. This ensures a smoother finish and a longer lifespan for your customers' furniture.
• Enhanced Rot and Insect Resistance: The thermal modification also makes the wood less appetizing to fungi and insects, further boosting its natural resistance to rot and decay. This provides an additional layer of protection, complementing the natural properties of the wood itself.

Position Your Business with Innovative, Resilient Products

For our wholesale and drop ship partners, offering ThermaFusion™ furniture means providing an elevated product that solves common customer pain points related to outdoor furniture longevity. You can confidently promote Lakeland Mills' ThermaFusion™ collection as truly innovative patio furniture built for resilience. This is a unique selling proposition that differentiates your offerings in a competitive market. Imagine your customers enjoying our ThermaFusion Adirondack chairs or ThermaFusion swings for years, maintaining their beauty with minimal upkeep.

This advanced material complements our commitment to quality.  While our standard Northern White Cedar furniture offers fantastic natural benefits, ThermaFusion™ takes outdoor durability to the next level.
