Ayous
Although similar as facade cladding to fraké, ayous has a slightly less irregular, more rustic character. You could say that fraké takes on a more ‘historic’, natural look thanks to the black streaks and pinholes while ayous has more of a modern look-and-feel. Ayous has a Janka hardness of 430 and would be closest compared to clear Western Red Cedar for appearance, density and workability
Fraké
Whereas untreated fraké is more likely to be light yellow to dark brown, thermally modified fraké takes on a warm, nutty colour. The robust colour combined with the typical lines and pinholes make fraké planks very eye-catching as facade cladding and perfect for enthusiasts of distinctive wood. Fraké has a Janka hardness of 640.
