    TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND DURABILITY

    Hardwood doesn’t just make for elegant flooring. It’s a tough and long-lasting performer whose beauty is timeless.

    Malaysian hardwood is known for unique qualities that enhance the aesthetics of any room with its warmth and cosiness. It is the number one choice for interior designers and specifiers, not only from Malaysia, but also from other countries.

    Hardwood flooring is easy to install and maintain. Its excellent thermal insulating property makes it an ideal material for flooring. Wood is hypo-allergenic, contributing to a healthier living environment.

    MALAYSIAN HARDWOOD DECKING

    NATURAL BEAUTY AT ITS BEST

    Few materials can match the beauty and practicality of tropical timber for decking.

    Unlike concrete, brick, stone, ceramic tiles or metal, timber decking can create a quick facelift to one’s garden. It is simple to install, and does not require elaborate, time-consuming foundation work.

    Timber effortlessly complements natural surroundings. Its flexibility allows landscape artists the freedom to incorporate enhancements such as handrails, balustrades, pergolas, screens and gazebos.

    A SOUND CHOICE

    Malaysian hardwoods have established a reputation for quality, making them much sought-after by discerning buyers. Timbers such as Balau, Red Balau, Kempas, Keruing and Merbau are the best hardwoods for decking products because of their durability, strength and attractive grain.
