Balau – PEFC-Certified Heavy Hardwood for Outdoor and Structural Performance
Balau is a high-density tropical hardwood prized for its exceptional strength, durability, and weather resistance. Native to Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia, Balau is widely used in applications where extreme performance is essential.
With a coarse texture and interlocked grain, Balau ranges in color from yellow-brown to reddish-brown and darkens over time. Its resistance to wear, moisture, and termites makes it ideal for outdoor and exposed environments. PEFC-certified and responsibly harvested, Balau is a sustainable choice for demanding construction needs.
Available in custom sizes, and supplied kiln-dried or air-dried upon request.
