1243 Kebony Character 21x148 mm rectangular smooth

Kebony Wood

Kebony is beautiful wood recommended by leading architects. It is sustainable, durable and requires no maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Kebony’s performance has been proven in a variety of applications including decking and cladding.

Kebony character products are made from FSC®-certified Pinus Sylvestris, which have been treated with a bio-based liquid.

The patented Kebony® technology gives a unique wood product with outstanding durability and an exclusive appearance containing knots.

Kebony character products can be cross cut to length as untreated woods but exposed end grain should be treated with a wood preserver. They should not be further machined as untreated heartwood will appear.

Heartwood content will vary. The given data in the product datasheet represent Kebony character with a heartwood content of approximately 50%.

The Kebony® technology gives a deep rich brown colour. After exposure to sun and rain the wood develops a natural silver-gray patina.
