Environmentally friendly |
The materials have no harmful effects on the environment. Production of Kebony is based on a liquid extracted from biowaste. In the waste disposal phase, Kebony can be treated as regular untreated wood. |

|
 |
Aesthetic |
The materials have a golden brown colour which naturally turns grey. The products acquire a natural silver-grey patina and exposure to sun and rain creates an interesting effect of depth. |
| |
|
 |
Dimensionable stable |
The process results in the wood cells being permanently blocked which, compared with untreated wood, reduces shrinkage and swelling by approximately 50%. |
| |
|
 |
Easy to maintain |
Kebony products require no form of maintenance beyond normal cleaning. |
| |
|
 |
Good compressive strenght |
The process increases the density of the materials and makes them stiffer and significantly harder than untreated wood. |
| |
|
 |
Sustainable |
The raw materials for Kebony are acquired from commercially managed forests with large timber harvests. All our suppliers hold certificates guaranteeing the origin of their timber. |
| |
|
 |
Cost-effective |
Good durability and long life spans in harsh climates. No need for paint products etc to retain product properties. Required maintenance is limited to normal cleaning. |
| |
|
 |
Resistant |
Protects against decay, fungi, insects and other microorganisms. |
| |
|
 |
Non-toxic |
Kebony contains no chemicals that can be released into the environment. The polymer is permanently bonded to the cell structure in the wood by means of a process which cannot be reversed. |
| |
|
 |
Good durability |
Modified wood is a durable alternative to impregnated surface-treated and tropical timber. |
