Maximo Wood, a brand of GMX Group, announces that its Maximo Thermo Pre-Finished wood system has won the Ceilings Category in the worldwide Architizer A+ Awards – Popular Choice. Recognized as one of the most influential architectural awards programs, the A+ Awards celebrate the world’s best products.
According to the Architizer awards staff, “This is an unparalleled honor. The Popular Choice Winners were selected by the online voting public after a two-week campaign, garnering thousands of votes, and Maximo Wood’s work truly represents the best of product design worldwide.”
“We are beyond excited to have Maximo Thermo Pre-Finished win the Popular Choice Award in the Ceilings Category,” said Bianca Watanabe, Director of Maximo Thermo. “Thermo Pre-Finished has now earned recognition as a go-to solution by architects and designers who love the beauty of real wood, but seek design freedom over color, texture and performance.”
Maximo Thermo Pre-Finished combines thermal modification with advanced finishing technology to deliver a fully customizable solution for cladding, walls and ceilings. Each board is processed under tightly controlled factory conditions and is available in four thermally modified species: Thermo Ayous, Scandinavian Thermo, Thermo Clear Radiata and Thermo Ash. Designers can choose from five distinct textures, paired with a curated collection of transparent finishes.
Maximo Thermo Pre-Finished products are coated with US4 EverClad Aqua Oil, a premium wood finish developed by Saicos. This refined finishing system leverages automotive-grade polymer technology, enhancing durability against the elements while extending UV-protection and significantly reducing maintenance. The water-based, low-VOC finishes meet California and international environmental standards.
Backed by a proven track record in demanding climates and supported by Maximo Thermo’s 20-year warranty, Maximo Thermo Pre-Finished delivers a comprehensive solution for projects requiring both enduring performance and expressive design.
