Maximo Thermowood is a solution designed for ceilings, walls, soffits, and more. With its own verticalized production in Europe, GMX sources wood from Europe and nearby countries. Through an advanced, scientifically proven thermal modification process, the moisture content of the wood is significantly reduced, while hemicelluloses—key components susceptible to fungal decay—are broken down.
This treatment enhances dimensional stability and increases resistance to decay, insects, and moisture absorption, transforming conventional wood into a high-performance product. The process reduces labor costs, ensuring easier handling, machining and installation, along with a 20-year durability warranty for both interior and exterior use.
Maximo Thermowood offers species such as Thermo Clear Radiata, featuring proprietary OPX termite treatment; Thermowood Scandinavian Pine, Thermowood Ayous, and Thermowood Ash.
Maximo’s Ipe and other premium hardwoods are handpicked for quality and durability. Sourced from sustainably managed and 100% certified forests, each piece is graded (classified as) premium on all four sides, making them ideal for demanding applications like decking, boardwalks, and more.
“When customers buy a Maximo Wood product, they never want to purchase another brand again. With an attractive mid-price point and value proposition, it also features quality and unique sustainability compliance. across product lines,” said João Costa, partner and commercial director of Maximo Wood.
Each Maximo Thermowood board is kiln-dried in chambers that precisely regulate moisture levels, ensuring it’s perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor use.
