Your Trusted Merbau Wood Supplier
Nature’s Strong Hardwood
Merbau Wood Reliable Performance in Every Climate
Merbau wood, scientifically known as Intsia bijuga, is a tropical hardwood celebrated for its exceptional strength, stability, and rich, luxurious appearance. Native to Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and parts of northern Australia, Merbau grows in coastal forests and thrives in well-drained soils with high humidity. The wood is deep reddish-brown in color with occasional golden or yellow flecks that give it a naturally polished, elegant look. With a dense and oily composition, Merbau offers impressive resistance to moisture, termites, decay, and even saltwater, making it one of the most durable hardwoods used globally for both interior and exterior applications.
At Kantilal & Sons, we source premium Merbau wood from certified forests, ensuring responsible harvesting practices and top-grade quality. Known for its long lifespan, Merbau is often chosen for high-end flooring, outdoor decking, furniture, doors, and structural applications where aesthetics meet endurance.
