FAS American Ash Architrave
Known botanically as Fraxinus Amerciana, American White Ash or just American Ash is a high shock resistance, durable hardwood which relative to its weight is very robust. When used as an architrave you can expect a beautiful eye catching grain and a gentle colour, fitting in well with classic spaces.
Boasting exceptional Janka hardness, American Ash Architrave has good resistance to marking and damage, similar to American White Oak, despite being much lighter.
Key Features
- Flexible:Suitable for a variety of joinery. American White Ash can be easily machined, sanded, glued and stained/finished.
- Hardy: Combining its unique shock resistance properties and a strong Janka hardness of 1320 lbf, American Ash is ideal for high traffic environments such as architrave.
- Quality aesthetic:With a strong grain which can be further enhanced by staining due to its large pore structure, expect American Ash Architrave to be draw attention.
- Stability:Supplied kiln dried and also thermo modified thanks to its superb stability throughout the drying process. American Ash has very little moisture movement.
Application and Design Ideas
Typically favoured in more traditional spaces due to its unique grain you can combine Architrave with both flooring and American Ash Skirting for a complete aesthetic.
Profiles Available:
IWA1 – Pencil Rounded: Creating a seamless and simple aesthetic with a single rounded edge.
IWA2 – Torus: This timeless profile features a prominent half-circle.
IWA3 – Ogee: Most widely used in the UK the ogee profile has an ornate curve along the top edge.
IWA4 – Chamfered: Clean and sleek, this profile is as its name suggests, tapered.
IWA5 – Lambs Tongue: Perfect for traditional aesthetics, this profile starts with a small square edge along the top and slopes down and out.
Sustainability
American Ash grows throughout the eastern area of North America forests with mixed hardwood species. Whilst there are some concerns surrounding American Ash’s standing stock thanks to long term threat from pests and disease, Ash is a prolific species carefully harvested from well-maintained forests.
Care and Maintenance
Caring for your American Ash Architrave as with any internal joinery should include regular dusting and only mild cleaners. For treated American Ash Architrave ensure recoating is done as suggested by manufacturer to ensure that emphasised grain from treatment stays prominent.
