Merbau – PEFC-Certified Premium Hardwood for Flooring, Joinery & Outdoor Use
Merbau is a highly durable tropical hardwood known for its deep reddish-brown color, interlocked grain, and natural resistance to rot, termites, and moisture. Sourced primarily from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
Its combination of density, beauty, and long-term performance makes Merbau one of the most trusted hardwoods in the construction and design industries. Available as PEFC-certified sustainable timber, Merbau supports responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
