Radiata Pine

Although similar as facade cladding to fraké, 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.

  • Origin: New-Zealand
  • Durability class 3
  • FSC®-certified
  • Mix of light and dark shades
  • Straight grain
  • Almost no knots
  • Easy to process
  • Dimensionally stable
