Thermally Modified Wood for Snoqualmie & Cascade Foothills
Snoqualmie and Snoqualmie Ridge projects can face frequent rain, cold conditions and exposed elevations. Maximo Thermo’s lower moisture uptake can reduce dimensional movement, but successful exterior work still depends on drainage, ventilation, fastening and maintenance.

Snoqualmie FAQs

Specification Questions
How does thermally modified wood perform under heavy Snoqualmie winter freeze-thaw cycles?+
Lower equilibrium moisture can reduce the amount of moisture available during freeze-thaw cycles. It does not remove the need for correct spacing, drainage, end sealing and routine inspection.
