Thermally modified ash decking in Los Angeles is a modern, natural solution for outdoor spaces. It works well for decks, siding, fences, and cladding. At LA Decks, we install thermally modified ash for homeowners and commercial clients who want a clean look and strong performance.
Ash becomes stronger and more stable through a heat and steam process. No chemicals are used. The result is natural wood built for outdoor use.
Thermal modification changes the wood’s structure. Heat and steam remove moisture and sugars. This improves durability and reduces movement.
Because of this process, thermally modified ash:
Resists rot and decay
Handles moisture better
Moves less than untreated wood
Stays lightweight and easy to install
It is a 100% natural product.
Thermo ash offers a smooth texture and a modern tone. It fits well with contemporary design.
Best uses include:
Decking
Exterior siding
Privacy fences
Ceilings and soffits
Wall cladding
Ash works well where clean lines matter.
Many clients compare ash to hardwoods like ipe or cumaru.

Jatoba’s dense composition makes it an exceptionally comfortable and safe choice for barefoot walking, which is particularly beneficial for families and outdoor spaces. Its high density and tight grain structure ensure that the wood is naturally resistant to splintering, providing a smooth and safe surface that is gentle on the feet. This makes Jatoba an ideal option for areas where people, including children, are likely to walk barefoot, such as pool decks, patios, and play areas. Unlike lower-density woods and composite materials, Jatoba remains cool underfoot, even in hot climates like Los Angeles and Orange County. This thermal property is due to its dense structure, which absorbs and dissipates heat more efficiently than other materials. As a result, you can enjoy your outdoor spaces comfortably without worrying about hot surfaces burning your feet. Jatoba’s combination of density, splinter resistance, and thermal properties makes it a superior choice for creating safe, enjoyable outdoor environments.
