Our comments on the species
One of the most popular flooring option we have. Merbau, from South East Asia, has been one our best seller since we introduced it in India since 1999. With a deep brown colour, Merbau is hard and stable. Merbau is slightly yellowish to orange - brown when freshly cut which turns to dark red brown on exposure. Expect natural colour variations and some yellow specks, which are silica deposits.Available Flooring Options: Blocks, Strip & Plank Flooring
