Merbau, also known as kwila, is a highly sought-after timber for decking, outdoor furniture, barbeque trolleys, joinery, and more. This Asian rainforest hardwood is rich in natural oils, making it perfect for outdoor applications. As with most natural timber products, color variation within the merbau timber species is normal and one of its most appealing characteristics. Typically a dark reddish-brown in color, occasionally a yellowish-brown, merbau decking has a noticeable grain appearance and is sure to enhance any outdoor living area.
Renowned for its high strength and remarkable durability, the average life expectancy of merbau decking with proper above-ground installation and regular maintenance is 25-50 years. Classed as a fire retardant species, merbau is naturally resistant to termite attack and decay. The finished size is 90mm x 19mm, making it versatile, hard-wearing, and extremely durable. This natural timber product is easy to work with and can be oiled, stained, or have a clear coat applied. It boasts outstanding natural fire resistance (BAL 29) and is organically termite resistant, requiring no additional treatment. Ideal for outdoor applications, it is supplied in random lengths.
