Maximo Wood continues to grow its Thermo product line across key U.S. markets, pairing advanced performance technology with the natural aesthetics that architects and designers can specify with confidence. Maximo Thermo products are available in species including Thermo Ayous, Scandinavian Thermo, Thermo Clear Radiata and Thermo Ash, supporting a wide range of interior and exterior applications such as cladding, walls and ceilings.
The portfolio also includes Maximo Pre-Finished, featuring advanced factory-applied finishing technology for consistent color, refined texture, and long-term surface protection. In addition, Maximo offers Thermo Ayous with BurnBlock® technology, a WUI-compliant fire-retardant treatment engineered to provide durable, through-body fire resistance.
Maximo Thermo products are created through an advanced thermal modification process using only heat and steam to reduce the wood’s sugar and moisture content. The result is a lightweight, insect-resistant material with enhanced dimensional stability, easier handling and installation, and long-term durability backed by a 20-year warranty for both interior and exterior applications.
