GREENHEART SPECIFICATION SHEET

Greenheart timber is one of the strongest hardwoods, making it an ideal product for use in a wide range of construction and marine activities.

Greenheart is extensively used in situations where strength, durability and hard wearing properties are essential. Greenheart is often used in marine environments as an 'untreated alternative' to other hardwoods, as it is resistant to decay, aquatic organisms and has a high density value.

Greenheart timber as with other hardwood and marine timbers is an extremely difficult timber to work with, due to the nature of the Greenheart's interlocking grain structure. However with our dedicated sawmills, we can machine, cut and drill Greenheart timber to suit your specifications and requirements, allowing you to receive the exact product you require. Saving you time and money.

Our Greenheart timber is supplied with an independently audited, full chain of custody, from forest to site. Greenheart is available FSC certified or EUTR compliant.
