Steaming is another technology that A+C Corbat SA applies to raw sawn timber. After rapidly heating it up to about 90°C, the cuts are maintained at a high temperature and steam saturation for a period varying according to the desired colour.
Indeed, the colour of the wood changes through a phenomenon of oxidation. Beech, for example, takes on a quite characteristic and aesthetically interesting pink colour. Moreover, this technique reduces the internal tensions of the timber and facilitates its drying.
