Russin, Montgomery, N.Y., is expanding its modern wood offerings into Northeast and mid-Atlantic markets with Maximo Thermo, a thermally modified wood collection designed to create architectural depth, texture, and warmth across exterior and interior spaces.
The perfect complement to Russin's Thermory offering, Maximo Thermo transforms thermally modified wood into a true architectural feature through dimensional profiles, clean lines, and modern applications designed to create depth, texture, and visual movement throughout a space. Engineered for enhanced durability and stability, Maximo combines the warmth of real wood with the performance demanded in today’s exterior and interior environments.
“Modern projects are asking more from materials than ever before,” said Bianca Watanabe, director of thermally modified woods. “Maximo was designed to deliver architectural impact while maintaining the long-term durability and stability that architects, builders, and homeowners expect from thermally modified wood.”
As modern design trends continue shaping residential and commercial construction, architects and contractors are increasingly searching for materials that balance clean aesthetics with real-world performance. Maximo addresses that demand through dimensional siding, soffits, ceilings, decking, paneling, and trim profiles that create rhythm and contrast without sacrificing durability.
“Customers want modern spaces that still feel warm and natural,” said Jordan Russin, co-president of Russin. “Maximo gives our partners a material solution that delivers strong architectural design along with the performance needed for long-term applications.”
Key benefits of Maximo Thermo include:
• Thermally modified wood engineered for enhanced stability and moisture resistance
• Dimensional profiles that create shadow lines, texture, and architectural depth
• Modern applications across siding, decking, ceilings, soffits, paneling, and trim
• Natural wood warmth paired with clean contemporary design
• Durable performance for demanding exterior and interior environments
With the addition of Maximo Thermo, Russin continues to support its partners with materials that align modern design intent with long-term material performance, helping customers create spaces built to leave an impression.
Russin is a manufacturer and distributor of building materials covering 13 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. The company owns and operates distribution, milling and factory finishing facilities in Montgomery, N.Y.
