Why choose Padouk?

Vibrant Color: The heartwood of Padouk shines in a distinctive bright orange-red hue, sometimes leaning towards wine-red or purple.
Highly Durable: Padouk is classified as Class 1 in durability, ensuring longevity of over 25 years even under extreme weather conditions. Whether it’s facade cladding exposed to the elements or heavily trafficked floors, Padouk stands strong.
Stability: This wood is exceptionally stable and easy to work with, remaining flat and resistant to warping. It presents a calm grain pattern with few knots or defects, making it ideal for various indoor and outdoor applications such as facades, fences, tables, floors, and ceilings.
Hard and Heavy: Padouk is very hard and dense, contributing to its robustness and long-lasting performance even under heavy loads.
Easy to Treat: Want to maintain the original color of your facade? Choosing the right oil is essential. A good option is bankirai hardwood oil, such as Wovar. This specific oil enhances the wood’s renowned red color even further. When treating a Padouk table, it can be easily finished with an acid-curing clear lacquer to preserve the intense color for longer.
Graying: The natural aging process of Padouk results in a uniform gray color, requiring no treatment, a beautiful natural process.
