Thermory Vivid Exotic Brown | Ash Cladding Sample
Thermory Vivid Exotic Brown is a factory-applied finish from Thermory’s Vivid Translucent collection, applied here on thermally modified Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). The finish delivers a rich, dark brown tone that brings out the complexity and character of thermally modified wood. Use this sample to evaluate color, brushed grain texture, and finish quality before specifying full-size cladding boards. Mill-applied at the factory for consistent coverage on all four faces — no jobsite finishing required.

What is Thermory Vivid Exotic Brown?
Vivid Exotic Brown is part of Thermory’s Vivid Translucent collection — a factory-applied wood finish system that delivers a rich, dark brown tone that brings out the complexity and character of thermally modified wood. The full Vivid line includes Silver, Black, Coastal White, White Oak, Exotic Brown, and Golden Brown. Recoating interval: 2–7 years depending on UV exposure.
What is Thermory Ash?
Thermory Ash is dense hardwood with rich grain and superior dimensional stability. Each board is thermally modified at 215°C+ using only heat and steam — no chemicals added. The result: Durability Class 1 (25+ years decay protection), dramatically lower moisture absorption, and superior dimensional stability compared to untreated ash. Material is thermally modified hardwood.
How is the finish applied?
Vivid Exotic Brown is mill-applied — the finish is sprayed in a controlled factory environment, not on the jobsite. Mason’s Mill also offers our own mill-applied prefinishing service for projects requiring custom or matched coatings. Factory-applied finishes deliver consistent color across all four faces, eliminate jobsite weather risk, and arrive ready to install.

Best Applications
Vivid Exotic Brown on Ash is ideal for deep, warm facades and accent walls where you want the grain to read through a saturated brown. Specifiers commonly use it for modern exterior facades, accent walls, soffits, and feature siding on contemporary residential, hospitality, and commercial architecture.
Why specify a factory finish over field finishing?
- Even coverage on all four faces eliminates uneven swelling
- No jobsite cure delays or weather dependency
- Consistent color batch-to-batch
- Faster install — boards arrive ready to fasten
- Longer service life from controlled application
