Maximo Wood, a leading high-performance wood brand, is expanding its availability in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex through Big D Lumber Co. The full-service independent lumberyard will offer Maximo Thermo Ayous products at its Richardson and Burleson, Tx., locations, giving building professionals in the region greater access to thermally modified wood solutions for interior and exterior applications.

“Adding Maximo Thermo Ayous allows us to offer our customers a high-performance solution for a variety of interior and exterior projects,” said Garret Cockrell, president. “The available profiles offer beautiful aesthetics for walls and ceilings, with the added performance benefits of Maximo’s thermal modification process.”

The addition of Big D Lumber Company strengthens Maximo Wood’s distribution network in Texas, extending the brand’s reach across the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Building professionals will be able to access Maximo Thermo Ayous at Big D’s Richardson, Haslet and Burleson locations, with more products from Maximo’s portfolio coming soon.

“Building relationships with dealers like Big D is an important part of strengthening our presence in Texas,” said Ana Caovilla, Corporate Communications Manager for Maximo Wood. “Through this partnership, we’re making it easier for building professionals across the region to source high-performance Thermo Ayous for their projects.”

Big D currently offers Maximo Thermo Ayous Smooth 1x6 tongue-and-groove boards with a reversible profile and Maximo Thermo Ayous Fluted 1x6 tongue-and-groove boards. Maximo Thermo Ayous provides a lightweight wood solution for applications including wall and ceiling cladding. Maximo also offers Thermo Ayous with built-in Burnblock fire-retardant, a WUI-compliant treatment designed to deliver durable, consistent fire resistance throughout the board.

Maximo Thermo products are made using an advanced thermal modification process that uses only heat and steam to reduce the wood’s sugar and moisture content. This process improves dimensional stability and creates an insect-resistant material that is easier to handle and install. Maximo Thermo products are backed by a 20-year warranty for interior and exterior use.

Maximo Wood unites the performance of thermally modified timber with the timeless appeal of tropical hardwoods. Through its Maximo Thermo and Maximo Hardwoods lines, it offers builders and dealers a reliable, beautiful and sustainable alternative to traditional domestic woods.
