Although similar as facade cladding to ThermoWood® fraké, ThermoWood® ayous has a slightly less irregular, more rustic character. You could say that fraké takes on a more ‘historic’, natural look thanks to the black streaks and pinholes while ayous has more of a modern look-and-feel. Ayous has a Janka hardness of 430 and would be closest compared to clear Western Red Cedar for appearance, density and workability
