Wide S4S E4E trim profile

Trim & Moulding
From the Maximo project library
A real project from the Thermo Ash album. Confirm the selected decking profile and finish separately.
Changing light reveals the depth of the profile.
Wood makes the threshold feel like part of the interior.
Real projects, not exact-profile samples. Confirm the species, application and finish for your project.
Profile & surface planning
A wide hardwood trim board for fascia, frames and refined exterior transitions. 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.
The installation detail
Beautiful surfaces start with the right board, the right joint and the right support. Here is how this profile fits into the plan.

Your profile
Four surfaced sides. Four eased edges.
Joint layout and fixing belong to the approved assembly.
The catalog lists S4S E4E: surfaced four sides, eased four edges. This designation alone does not establish a tongue-and-groove joint.
Select stainless steel fasteners for the profile, substrate and exposure. Do not transfer the concealed-nailing detail for grooved Ayous siding to a square-edge board, decking or trim.
Confirm backing, span, end support and fastening for this profile’s cataloged application. A trim board is not automatically a structural member.
Side-by-Side Comparisons
