Merbau Decking

Merbau Decking

Available Sizes:

Merbau is a very popular decking solution as it is resistant to erosion and harsh natural elements. Due it’s extreme durability, Merbau is often used for decking, flooring, staircases, boat building, and making outdoor furniture

Its sapwood is well defined and pale yellow in colour, while its heartwood is yellowish to orange brown when fresh, weathering to brown or dark red brown. Merbau’s grain is interlocked and its texture is coarse but even. Growth rings are distinct. Vessels are often filled with a yellow or a white deposit, which is conspicuous on surface. The dark brown gummy substance readily leaches out in water.

Also known as Kwila, Pacific Kwila, Ipil, and Vesi, Merbau is grown in the South East Pacific rim.
