Maglin now proudly offers Thermally Modified Ash for almost all products where wood surfaces are available. So, why specify site furniture in Thermally Modified Ash? Beyond its stunning appearance, this wood offers a sustainable, durable alternative to traditional tropical hardwoods, sourced and treated right here in North America.
Sustainable Sourcing: From North American Forests to Your Space

Linger, Laugh, Luxuriate. The streamlined elegance of the L-Series Collection of Tables and Benches is beautifully accentuated by the use of Thermal Ash.
The Process: Enhancing Wood through Heat and Steam
Thermally Modified Ash wood undergoes a transformative process, subjected to temperatures exceeding 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Using only heat and steam, the material is modified through an environmentally friendly, chemical-free process. By solely employing heat and steam, the wood’s characteristics are enhanced, boosting its properties without introducing harmful chemicals.
Thermal Ash offers a sustainable and handsome option for the highly sought-after Ogden Collection.
Aesthetics: Uniformity, Richness, and Distinctive Grain Patterns
This wood captures attention with its uniform, rich color, and distinctive grain patterns, making it an aesthetically captivating choice for site furniture applications. As time passes, Thermally Modified Ash develops an elegant silver patina, gracefully aging and infusing furniture with character and charm. If desired, the wood’s original luster can be rejuvenated with a coat of wood oil, solely for aesthetic purposes without compromising performance.
The Iconic Collection strikes a perfect balance between classic style and modern design, further enhanced by the addition of Thermal Ash, elevating the elegance of its benches and tables.
Enduring Strength: Decay Resistance and Dimensional Stability
The thermal modification process results in a product that retains less water, becoming more rot resistant and less susceptible to expansion and contraction from environmental conditions.
