Timber Decking

Merbau or Kwila is a very durable and termite-resistant timber, making it a highly valued and popular decking timber material and has a long life in above ground applications. Merbau can contain a "gold" fleck that runs through the grain, which is considered to be attractive by some. Sapwood is well-defined and pale yellow in colour.
