Heritage thermolysis

TECH

Heritage thermolysis is the ATH conservation-grade cleaning protocol for listed and historically sensitive fabric, using controlled superheated steam (thermal lysis) to kill and release biological growth — lichen crusts, algae, moss — from soft or friable stone without abrasion or harsh chemistry. It directly answers 'heritage anxiety': the owner's absolute preference for non-destructive, conservation-grade methods that preserve historical authenticity regardless of time or cost. By delivering the lethal effect through heat rather than pressure or aggressive biocide, it removes the coloniser while protecting weathered surface detail and avoiding the substrate damage (spalling, surface-area expansion) that defines Chronostructural Drag.
