GMX Group announced that its Maximo® Thermo Clear Radiata wood has been selected as the Popular Choice Winner in Architizer magazine’s 2025 A+ Product Awards in the Building Envelopes, Cladding & Roofing category. Recognized by the global community of architects and designers, this prestigious award highlights Thermo Clear Radiata’s unmatched combination of innovation, aesthetics and sustainability in architectural wood products. The Maximo brand and its multiple Thermowood species are unmatched for their design possibilities, durability and sustainability. 

The Architizer A+ Awards’ Popular Choice winners were selected by public voting from thousands of architects and designers. Other winners were selected by jury. 

“The Maximo team is excited to receive the winning votes from Architizer’s esteemed architecture and design community for Thermo Clear Radiata,” said Kevin Kilpatrick, Chief Marketing Officer, GMX Group. “Thermo Clear Radiata sets a new standard for lumber, offering architects a sustainable, high-performance solution with industry-leading thermal modification and advanced termite protection.”

Delivering exceptional performance, Maximo Thermo Clear Radiata is a premium, knot-free wood product treated with Maximo’s OPX anti-termite technology. It penetrates deep into the wood fibers for long-lasting protection against termites, moisture and decay. Unlike surface treatments, OPX integrates with the wood’s structure, preserving its pristine appearance while reducing maintenance needs, even in harsh environments. Through a proprietary thermal modification process, the wood also gains enhanced dimensional stability and strength. This has earned it a reputation as one of the best materials for walls and ceilings on the market, while also excelling at everything from facades to decking.

Thermo Clear Radiata is sustainably sourced from man-made plantation forests, aligning with green building practices and the growing demand for eco-friendly materials. It is featured in this month's Architizer’s 2025 A+ Awards gallery.

Available in a range of contemporary profiles and backed by a 20-year warranty, Maximo Thermo Clear Radiata delivers a clean, modern look with lasting performance.  To learn more about Thermo Clear Radiata and the full line of Maximo Thermowood® products, visit www.maximowood.com.
