In this image we used Thermory Benchmark Ash 1x6 No Groove decking because it offered a blend of modern performance and rustic warmth, making it an exceptional choice for their contemporary luxury home situated in this Idaho mountain community. The Owners were happy to learn that the premium white ash is a chemical-free hardwood which achieves a rich color tone and beautifully highlighted grain patterns that perfectly captured the raw elegance of the Rocky Mountains. Utilizing the 1x6 material size helped established a bold, grounded aesthetic that complements the grand scale and clean lines of modern mountain architecture as envisioned by Hudgins Design Group. Because this specific profile features No Grooves, it allows for a traditional, smooth-milled face that emphasizes the wood's organic, exotic texture while providing a timeless, barefoot-friendly surface. Coeur Builders used Thermory's concealed fasteners to ensure the surface would remain smooth for their enjoyment. Engineered to withstand intense high-altitude elements, Thermory Benchmark Ash boasts a Class 1 durability rating with a 25+ year rot resistance expectancy, ensuring it will resist warping, twisting, or splitting through harsh Idaho winters and intense summer UV exposure. As it weathers naturally into a sophisticated mountain silver, this premium decking bridges the gap between sleek architectural minimalism and rugged mountain luxury.
