For a porch floor that resists warping, rot, and insects, but embraces everything there is to love about real wood, Thermory Benchmark Ash porch flooring delivers. Thermory's expert thermal modification process takes white ash boards and uses just heat and steam to result in unequalled durability and dimensional stability. Then, each board undergoes meticulous milling, ensuring it exceeds your expectations for smoothness, flatness, and straightness. Thermory has sustainability built into their company values, and they're committed to using only responsible harvesting practices, earth-friendly processes, and features that minimize waste.

Everything you didn't think you could get from real wood.
Benchmark Ash is the most natural result of Thermory’s thermal modification process. Innovative installation solutions such as JEM Joints and expansion beads not only make installation quick and painless, they also help ensure that your porch floor will lay flat and stay smooth for decades. As an added bonus, Benchmark Ash is truly stunning in color and appearance. Basically, you get everything you didn’t think you could get from real wood porch flooring.
Each porch flooring board has expansion beads built into it, enabling you to create the tight seams you want without risk of warping as the natural movement from (extremely minimal) moisture absorption occurs.
Thermory porch flooring boards include JEM (Joint End Matched) Joints that free you from joist requirements. JEM Joints interlock with each other, eliminating the need for joints to rest on joists and drastically decreasing waste.
Benchmark Ash is a deep, rich chocolate brown color- the natural result of the thermal modification process. Over time and left untreated, it will slowly turn a stunning grey. To protect the color, simply oil with a UV protectant.
