Durability for an Iconic Outdoor Venue

Lexington, Kentucky — A critical renovation requiring high-end stability and classic aesthetic.

Keeneland Race Course required a high-end wood finish for a critical renovation. The open-concept design demanded a material that could withstand extreme conditions—temperature fluctuations, high humidity, and constant sun exposure—while maintaining its classic aesthetic.

The Partnership

Frank Paxton Lumber Company selected Americana™ Thermally Modified Ash for its proven stability. The thermal modification process significantly enhances Ash hardwood, ensuring it is exceptionally stable and ideal for demanding exterior applications.
