Merbau is a unique lumber whose characteristics display a natural beauty. It is revered for its attractive growth ring figure and deep color.
Merbau is an extremely difficult wood to be worked, caused by the high content of minerals and silica. These are the convincing characteristics which qualify the wood the be an ideal choice for the fabrication of exterior components such as windows, doors, shutters, columns, trellises, beams, outriggers, gazebos and porticos.
Merbau is highly resistant to termite and other beetles due to a high mineral, oil and silica content. The wood's physical characteristics exceed those of Mahogany by sixty percent.
The hardness and the fiber structure of the wood enables a level of outstanding finishing. Accomplished through repeated hand-sanding and a finishing technique reminiscent of a traditional French Lacquer finish, we deliver durable beauty.
