Thermo Ash: A Premium Bespoke Timber Choice

One of our latest bespoke offerings is thermo ash (thermally modified ash), a premium timber that undergoes a heat treatment process to enhance its durability, stability, and resistance to moisture and decay. The modification process significantly improves the timber’s performance, making it an excellent choice for both interior and exterior applications, including cladding, decking, and bespoke joinery. Beyond its exceptional durability, Thermo Ash is also aesthetically stunning, offering a smooth, rich grain that brings warmth and sophistication to any project.

Project Highlight: Machined Iroko for a Private London School

We were proud to have supplied and machined bespoke Iroko timber decking for this stunning school renovation project in London. The transformation included precision-grooved decking boards and custom Iroko mopstick handrails, creating a durable and aesthetically striking outdoor space.

Iroko’s natural strength and weather resistance make it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like schools, ensuring longevity while maintaining a warm, inviting look. This project is a perfect example of how bespoke machining and high-quality timber can elevate an outdoor space.
