Offering a sustainable alternative to Sapele or Meranti timber, the introduction of Red Grandis demonstrates how a new plantation-grown species with Pure FSC certification can be brought to the market offering customer benefits; sustainability, durability, ease of use and continuity of supply.

Red Grandis has the generic name of Eucalyptus grandis, and is a high-grade clear timber delivering consistency of colour, appearance, grain and workability, It is most often used in the production of internal mouldings, including skirting, architrave and thresholds, furniture, cabinets and exterior cladding profiles, as well as within the window and door frame industry.

Red Grandis has undergone independent third-party testing by TRADA Technology and Building Research Establishment, achieving great results for natural durability and resistance to fungi as well as Class D35 for strength and stiffness, and Class C35 for density to prove its suitability for joinery and structural use.

It is easy to machine and shape, and because all lengths are identical, resulting in less waste and reduced production time.

Red Grandis is also available as a Timbmet Engineered Component (TECTM).
