Merbau stands out as an exceptional choice for a wide range of building and design projects. It’s warm and inviting colour tones boasts a rich reddish brown colour adding a sense of warmth and luxury to your home.
Merbau is a popular choice for homeowners and builders due to its density and strength. One of the standout features of merbau is its natural resistance to termites and other wood-boring insects. Due to the naturally high level of oil components, compact grain character and natural chemical compounds (tannins and alkaloids) it makes the timber unappetising to termites. Merbau presents a challenge to termites due to its density.
Merbau is a hardwood making it incredibly strong and resistant to wear and tear. Its hardiness makes it an excellent choice for areas that experience heavy foot traffic, such as hallways, living rooms and outdoor decking. Merbau has a long lifespan providing excellent value for your investment.
Despite its hardiness, merbau is relatively easy to work with, allowing for precise cuts and finishes. As an ideal material for decking, merbau complements the landscape as it pairs beautifully with other materials such as metal, stone and glass which offers design flexibility and enhancing the overall look of the project.
As a natural, renewable resource, merbau is an ecofriendly option compared to synthetic materials.
Whether you’re planning a new deck, refurbishing your floors or creating custom furniture, merbau offers the perfect blend of beauty, quality and strength. Choose merbau for your next project and experience the unparalleled benefits it brings to your home or business.
