Trim & Moulding
Profile & surface planning
A compact square profile for battens, screens and precise finish work. High-temperature thermal modification reduces the board’s moisture response compared with the same species untreated.
Choose a compatible exterior finish when color retention is desired, and confirm factory-prefinish options with the dealer. If left unfinished, the surface will gradually weather toward silver gray; timing and uniformity vary with exposure and detailing.
Lower moisture uptake helps reduce seasonal movement across board joints.
No added synthetic wood preservatives in the thermal process.
Reduced movement supports more predictable joints when the profile is installed correctly.
Available by consultation through Builders FirstSource Issaquah.
Profile & Installation Planning
The 2026 catalog lists Thermo Ayous 2x2 S4S E4E as S4S E4E. This simplified view helps explain the board relationship; it is not a scaled CAD detail or a substitute for the current installation guide.
S4S/E4E boards do not inherently create a tongue-and-groove lock. Joint spacing, exposure and fastening belong to the project assembly.
Confirm fastener material, gauge, length, edge distance and placement for the selected profile and substrate. Concealed fastening should not be assumed for every SKU.
Only the cataloged Thermo Ash 1x6 Plus and 5/4x6 products are identified as End Match. No universal off-framing rule or fixed waste reduction is claimed.

Model FAQs
The 2026 catalog lists 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square batten (38 mm x 38 mm nominal metric equivalent). Confirm current production tolerances and available lengths when ordering.
Use the corrosion-resistant stainless steel fastener specified for the profile, exposure and supporting assembly. Confirm fastener type, length and pre-drilling with the current Maximo installation guide.
Waste depends on available lengths, wall or deck geometry, joint layout, appearance matching and field cuts. Ask the Issaquah team to review the takeoff before ordering.
