Thermally modified Ayous has a rich mahogany grain that is beautiful whether preserved as a toasty brown or allowed to develop a silver patina.

 
 
 

Possibly the best thermally modified wood on the market, Ayous is ideal for siding, trim, soffit, ceiling and paneling.

 
 
 

Thermally modified Ayous (also known as ThermoWood® or Ambara™) is a lightweight, low-density hardwood with a deep caramel color, which some compare with cedar or mahogany. The thermal modification process requires precise coordination of heat and steam, but produces a rot-resistant wood that is exceptionally stable.

 
 
 
 

Ayous is perfect for millwork because of the unique stability and the uniform caramelization throughout the board. American Lumber stocks thermally modified Ayous in mill-rough dimension so that we can run to pattern as-needed, so if you need a specific or custom profile - all you have to do is ask!

 
 

Durable, stable, and beautiful — Ayous is ready when you are.
