Thermo-ayous.
Exceptional physical qualities and sustainable benefits
Thermo-Ayous, a specialised type of thermally modified timber, is increasingly gaining recognition for its exceptional qualities and sustainable benefits.
Originating from the Ayous tree, commonly known as African whitewood or obéché, this wood undergoes a precise heat treatment process that enhances its durability, stability, and resistance to decay and insect attack, making it an ideal material for various applications.

Features
DURABILITY
Thermo-Ayous undergoes a thermal modification process that enhances its durability. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy foot traffic and is highly resistant to rot, decay and insect damage.
STABILITY
The thermal modification process reduces the wood’s moisture content, resulting in improved dimensional stability and reduced warping or twisting. This stability makes it an excellent choice for environments with varying humidity levels.
AESTHETICS
Thermo-Ayous boasts a rich, dark hue with a smooth, refined texture, offering a sophisticated and contemporary aesthetic. It’s striking appeal, combined with its superior performance characteristics make it a preferred choice for architects, designers and builders.
MAINTENANCE
With its natural resistance to decay and insects, Thermo-Ayous requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan. This reduces the need for frequent treatments or coatings and saves time and resources.
SUSTAINABILITY
Thermo-Ayous is a high-quality environmentally sustainable choice. The heat treatment process used to produce Thermo-Ayous is 100% natural, with no added chemicals. PEFC certified, Thermo-Ayous is sourced from responsibly managed forests and is recyclable and biodegradable.
