Natural Appearance

Kapur hardwood features rich reddish-brown tones and a distinctive grain structure that enhances any outdoor space. Each board is unique, contributing to an authentic and high-end decking appearance.

Over time, exposure to sunlight and weather will naturally cause the timber to weather to a silver-grey patina. This process can be slowed by applying a suitable hardwood decking oil on a regular basis.
