Gentle & Controlled Process

How we protect your treasures.

Unlike fumigation or chemical sprays that can stain, corrode, or alter delicate materials, our heat treatment process is meticulously controlled.

  • Gradual Heating: The temperature is raised slowly and evenly to prevent thermal shock, which could cause wood to crack or warp.
  • Constant Monitoring: Multiple sensors track the core temperature of the item, ensuring it reaches the lethal level for pests without exceeding a safe threshold for the material itself.
  • Humidity Control: We can manage humidity levels within the treatment chamber to protect sensitive items like artwork and old books from drying out.
