Thermory interior and exterior cladding* offers unequalled rot resistance and dimensional stability, while bringing the sophistication of real wood to your walls. From the classic elegance of Benchmark Ash and Pine, to the bold look of Ignite, to the rugged outdoorsy style of Kodiak, Thermory cladding is made to make you stand out. Each board is carefully thermally modified using only heat and steam, then meticulously milled to ensure it arrives straight, flat, and ready to install. The modification process doesn't add any chemicals, additives or foreign materials to the wood - it simply enhances the natural properties of the wood fibers to leave each board even more durable, stable and beautiful than before.
*What's the difference between cladding and siding? In short, nothing, they are synonymous. Cladding is the more commonly used term in Europe, and Thermory HQ is in Estonia. Think pants vs. trousers.
Benchmark Ash cladding is created from thermally modified white ash, sourced responsibly from naturally renewing forests in Northern Europe. It combines the simple sophistication that only comes from real wood with rot resistance and stability that only comes from Thermory’s expert thermal modification process.

Benchmark Ash has been awarded Class 1 Durability, promising 25+ years of rot resistance - durability that few products, natural or engineered, can truly compete with. This is a result of the thermal modification process.
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.
Thermory Benchmark Ash cladding is a truly green product - it's sourced from healthy, renewable forests in Northern Europe, and the modification process is so clean, the boards are safe for burning as a means of disposal.

Benchmark Clear Pine is a thermally modified Radiata Pine species that can transform an interior space or hold its own outdoors. With its golden brown tone and stunningly knot-free face, Benchmark Clear Pine beautifully shows off its natural grain.
The more Benchmark Clear Pine is exposed to UV light and rain, the faster its color will transform from brown to silver. To protect the original color, simply oil with a UV protectant.
Like all Thermory products, Benchmark Clear Pine is thermally modified to naturally enhance each board, with only heat and steam, for unequaled strength and stability.
A lightweight and expertly milled material that will be easy on your blades and even your shoulders and back.
Species: Radiata Pine
If the forest had a room reserved only for special occasions, it would be clad in red oak. So, just imagine how this premium hardwood could transform your space into a haven of elegance you’ll never want to leave.
Responsibly harvested in North America, thermally modified red oak brings strength and character to any wall with its distinctive grain and reddish-brown hue. Boasting the signature durability and rot resistance of our entire suite of thermally modified wood products, our red oak cladding is designed to give your walls a rich appearance that endures.
Wood’s natural aging process is influenced by how much exposure it has to the elements. The more Benchmark Red Oak is exposed to UV light and rain, the faster its color will transform from reddish-brown to silver—sometimes in as little as six months. To maintain your wood’s natural color outdoors, simply treat the boards with a penetrating UV protective oil. We recommend CUTEK.
Thermal modification is a chemical-free process that gives you the beauty of real wood, naturally enhanced with only heat and steam for unequaled strength and stability—even in changing weather conditions. And with greater insulating properties compared to unmodified wood, our wood is never too hot to touch.
Put installation nightmares behind you with lightweight and expertly milled materials designed to solve your toughest install issues so you can work with ease and efficiency.
