FEATURES & USES OF MERBAU TIMBER DECKING

Merbau is a versatile hardwood derived from South East Asia, Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Islands and northern Queensland. When freshly cut, its heartwood is yellow-orange brown, developing into a darker red-brown with age. On the contrary, its sapwood is pale, yellow, white or buff coloured. Typically variegated, Merbau’s grains are interlocked and wavy, with a coarse but even texture known for its attractiveness on back-sawn material.

It finishes nicely with paint, stain or polish and with its high degree of natural durability and strength, Merbau is used externally in engineering, construction and marine applications.
