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.
