Introduction: The Emergence of Thermo Ayous in Sustainable Architecture
Architects and designers today want materials that balance beauty, durability, and eco-friendliness. Thermo Ayous wood has quickly become the answer for projects that need lightweight, weather-resistant timber with a natural appeal.
Through a chemical-free thermal modification process, Ayous wood is transformed into a stable, decay-resistant material suitable for both interior and exterior applications — perfect for India’s diverse climates.
What Is Thermo Ayous Wood?
Ayous (also known as African Obeche) is a soft, light hardwood renowned for its fine grain and uniform texture. When treated through thermal modification at 200°C using steam, it becomes Thermo Ayous wood — an eco-friendly alternative to traditional tropical hardwoods.
Key Improvements after Thermal Treatment:
- Enhanced resistance to rot and fungi
- Reduced moisture absorption for dimensional stability
- Rich golden-brown colour with natural shine
- Improved durability for outdoor use
