Question 1

How long does this decking last?

Accepted Answer

Thermo Ash Decking is Class 1 durable, with an expected service life of 30+ years. This performance is backed by a 20-year manufacturer's residential warranty against rot and decay.

Question 2

Does it require maintenance?

Accepted Answer

If left untreated, the decking will age into a beautiful silver-gray patina. To maintain the original caramel tone, apply a UV-protective deck oil once a year.

Question 3

Is it resistant to termites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The thermal modification process removes the natural sugars (hemicellulose) that insects feed on, making Thermo Ash Decking naturally pest-resistant without toxic chemicals.

Question 4

Is it comfortable underfoot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thermo Ash retains less heat than dense tropical hardwoods and is less prone to splintering, making it remarkably smooth and comfortable for bare feet around pools, patios, and rooftop terraces.
