Thermory Benchmark Pine Decking
Thermory Benchmark Pine Decking
Thermory Benchmark Pine decking and cladding redefines expectations for softwood. This thermally modified Scots pine product offers a smooth texture, decades of rot resistance and the beautiful look of heartwood from edge to edge (a natural result of the modification process). Benchmark Pine offers the stunning look of real pine, with durability that’s unequalled in the softwood market.
Thermally Modified Decking with Rot Resistance to the Core
Thermory's expert thermal modification process results in deck boards that are rot resistant to the core, offering up 25+ years of rot resistance. Meticulous milling leaves each board ready for use, and innovative solutions such as PaCS and JEM Joints make installation a breeze. Each board is harvested from naturally-renewing forests, and modified using only heat, steam, and certified wood scientists, creating a sustainable real wood deck that is both stunningly beautiful and unequalled in durability.

The Look of Heartwood
The thermal modification process creates a uniform color across each board – eliminating the look of sapwood, so instead you get the appearance of heartwood from edge to edge – the best aesthetic that pine has to offer.
-
Stunning Color Evolution
Benchmark Pine is a rich golden 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.
-
20+ Years of Rot Resistance
Benchmark Pine consistently offers 20+ years of rot resistance – leading the softwood market in durability. This is due to the incredible durability and stability created through the thermal modification process.

Finish Options
Natural Weathering
If the goal is to achieve a natural weathered silver, having a clear coat of oil factory applied is still the best way to protect your investment. Factory-applied oil protects all six sides of the wood and doesn’t need to slow down the aging process…it just helps the wood to age more gracefully from it’s day one rich browns (shown here) to a gorgeous silver while better withstanding the harsh weather conditions. It can be a one-time application to help your siding live its best life.
Russin Factory Finishing
Factory finishing offers unmatched consistency and customization. We’ll work with you to choose the best finish for your project, whether that’s paint for a solid, opaque finish that’s long-lasting or a stain to enhance the wood’s natural color. Whatever you choose, your selection will be expertly applied to all six sides of a board and according to each manufacturer’s standards, giving a more durable finish than is possible with field-applied coatings.
Benchmark Pine color transformation.
Wood’s natural aging process is influenced by how much exposure it has to the elements. The more Benchmark Pine is exposed to UV light and rain, the faster its color will transform from 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.
