Thermowood® Ayous is thermally modified hardwood which has been heat treated to over 200°C using a completely natural and non-toxic method. This results in a material which has been especially engineered for cladding applications to achieve enhanced performance in exterior environments, while retaining the beauty of traditional timber.  It is great as a cladding façade on buildings, plus decking and fencing applications.

Appearance: Thermowood® Ayous has a sleek, modern appearance with a consistent mid brown colouring. With its smooth texture and minimal knots, it provides a regular finish.

Performance: As a thermally modified hardwood, Thermowood® Ayous cladding doesn’t bend, twist or warp. With minimal water absorption and less water content, the timber is lightweight and very dry in nature which makes it resistant to decay, fungi and insect damage.

Longevity: Expected service life is 30 years (out of ground contact)
