A technical detail worth looking at.

The Graycliff Visitor Ceneter in Buffalo, NY combines 1x2 accoya as open-joint boards on curved installed with GRAD Mini Rails.

The challenge? Curving the rails to follow the architecture while maintaining precise alignment and spacing.

A great example of where the installation system matters as much as the wood.

Yes, you can use composite too.

This project is happening right now, with from American Pro Patwin Plastics Inc being installed using star rails for 5.5’’ wide deck boards.

A great example of a design

In this project, the warmth and texture of Thermory Magnolia wood create a harmonious integration of nature into the —bringing the character of real wood into the space while maintaining a clean, refined aesthetic.

And then there is what you don’t see. Behind that seemingly effortless result is a technical collaboration between Thermory USA and Grad Concept USA : evaluating the material, understanding its characteristics, and selecting an installation system that could support the design intent while delivering a precise, durable, and concealed installation.

Biophilic design is about creating a connection between people and nature.
But it can also create another kind of connection: the people and teams behind a project.

When these three work together, the result can feel effortless.

Want to add style to your walls? Why not differentiating the patterns?

With Grad this look is easily achievable and so much easier to install. No need to nail ever board or spend time making sure the gap sizes are even between every board. Just lay the rails and press and click the boards into place. Just that easy and the result is fabulous.

Award-winning architecture is about more than what you see.

The Baltimore Ravens’ Under Armour Performance Center has received a Jurors’ Citation Award from AIA Northern Virginia — recognizing a project where design, performance and ex*****on come together.

The best fastening system is the one you don’t see.

A beautiful wood or is about more than the material itself.

The way it is installed matters just as much.

With Grad, boards are fixed using a concealed fastening system that creates clean, consistent lines while keeping the visible surface free of screws and exposed hardware.

But it’s not only about aesthetics.

A well-designed installation system can also make a project:
- Faster to install
- Easier to align
- Taking movements into consideration
- Better suited to meet architectural requirements

From decks to walls, and soffits, the system behind the surface matters.
