Kebony®: duurzaam hout met de looks van hardhout
What if you could choose a wood that is not only durable and maintenance-free but also has the natural appearance of tropical hardwood? Discover Kebony®: an innovative and eco-friendly wood species, ideal for various applications in the timber and construction sectors.
What is Kebony® wood?
Through an infusion of a biological liquid combined with exposure to intense heat (over 100°C), Kebony® wood develops a permanently thickened cell wall. The result? A wood species as strong as tropical hardwood but with a reduced ecological footprint and lower maintenance needs.
