Profile & surface planning

Milled for repeatable lines &
project-ready details.

The widest clear trim profile in the catalog for bold fascia and uninterrupted planes. High-temperature thermal modification reduces the board’s moisture response compared with the same species untreated.

Finish & Maintenance Recommendations:

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 EMCReduced moisture response

Lower moisture uptake helps reduce seasonal movement across board joints.

PROCESSHeat and steam

No added synthetic wood preservatives in the thermal process.

STABLETight joint lock

Reduced movement supports more predictable joints when the profile is installed correctly.

Details that matter.

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

1x12
S4S E4E

Four surfaced sides. Four eased edges.
Joint layout and fixing belong to the approved assembly.

Check the profile in the Maximo catalog
01

Square edges. Deliberate detailing.

The catalog lists S4S E4E: surfaced four sides, eased four edges. This designation alone does not establish a tongue-and-groove joint.

02

Fasteners matched to the assembly.

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.

03

Support comes first.

Confirm backing, span, end support and fastening for this profile’s cataloged application. A trim board is not automatically a structural member.

Before work begins, confirm the current Maximo instructions for your SKU. The siding guide also recommends pre-drilling; confirm the preparation and tooling for the chosen fastening method.
