Kebony
Show productsKebony is a sustainably modified wood that has the look and quality of a tropical hardwood, but requires much less maintenance and is excellent value for money because it is long-lasting. In short, it’s the ideal wood for decking and façades!
What is Kebony?
Kebony is made from FSC® certified, knot-free, premium quality softwood (pinus radiata), immersed in a bio-sourced liquid (furfuryl alcohol) and exposed to heat of more than 100°C. This patented process permanently alters the cell walls of the softwood, giving Kebony the characteristics of a superior quality hardwood and a deep brown colour in just two steps.
This modification process results in amazing stability, maximum hardness and a guaranteed useful life. The wood also presents a smooth surface that can later be treated just like hardwood. It is ideal for cladding and decking.
Durability and guarantee
Kebony comes from fast-growing resinous wood from sustainably-managed forests which can be farmed after just 30 years. After the modification process, Kebony wood achieves Durability Class 1 status.
Our Kebony decking boards are FSC® certified and come with a 30-year guarantee. This guarantee covers the wood rotting and flaking.
Did you know?
By choosing Kebony instead of a tropical hardwood for a 10 m²deck, you save around two tonnes of CO2. That’s the equivalent of 22 months of electricity in an average European household or charging 400,000 mobile phones.
