Maximo Wood, a brand of GMX Group will debut its Thermo Pre-Finished Wood at the 2026 International Builders Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL, Feb. 17 – 19, Booth W7379. The product line sets a new benchmark for customizable wood innovations for the architecture and design community with the launch of Maximo Pre-Finished, a factory-applied finishing system designed to give architects and designers greater control over color, texture, and performance—without compromising the authenticity of real wood. Built on the proven foundation of Maximo Thermo™ technology, Pre-Finished represents the next step in Maximo’s ongoing commitment to innovation, precision, and design freedom.
Maximo 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, ensuring consistent color, refined texture, and long-term surface protection—eliminating the variability and limitations of on-site finishing.
Maximo Pre-Finished leverages automotive-grade polymer technology and refined coating systems to enhance durability while significantly reducing maintenance requirements. The use of water-based, low-VOC finishes that meet California and international environmental standards underscores Maximo’s commitment to sustainability, without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
The collection is available in four thermally modified species—Thermo Ayous, Scandinavian Thermo, Thermo Clear Radiata, and Thermo Ash—each selected for its stability, longevity, and natural looks. Designers can choose from five distinct textures, including Rough Sawn, Wire Brushed, and Charred, paired with a curated collection of transparent finishes such as Teak, Oak, Ebony, Walnut, White Oak, and Bangkirai, as well as a Deep Black Opaque option.
Backed by a proven track record in demanding climates and supported by Maximo Thermo’s 20-year warranty, Maximo Pre-Finished delivers a comprehensive solution for projects that require enduring performance and expressive design. With this launch, Maximo reinforces its belief that wood should not be constrained by compromise—and that innovation is not an exception, but a standard.
