Our Dark Red Meranti is found in southwest Asia in Malaysia. It grows in tropical lowland rainforests and lower elevations.
Dark Red Meranti is characterized by a uniform texture, which is slightly fluted. After drying, this wood is well shaped in shape, easy and clean to process, has an even smooth surface, and can be treated well.
The grain of Dark Red Meranti has either straight or interlocked and, it has a coarse texture along with a low natural luster. The pore size of Dark Red Meranti has ranged from medium to large sizes.
Wood is tough and has a long durability thanks to its high density and the substances it contains. These oily substances can be washed away by rain during the first phase of exposure to weather conditions.
The substances contained can drip on fresh-cut surfaces and therefore cause discoloration on the masonry. Therefore we recommend that all cutting edges be provided with OSMO Cutting Edge Wax. For Dark Red Meranti, it is essential to use non-corrosive fasteners for external structures. After almost six months of exposure to the weather, natural light graying is normal and does not affect quality or durability.
If a colorless wood treatment is required for outdoor use, use OSMO UV Colorless Extra Protective Oil. If you want to protect the wood with pigments and at the same time preserve its naturalness as much as possible, use OSMO pigmented coating Bangkirai Terrace Oil light.
Suppose you want to preserve wood sanding structure, but you want a color rendering with a higher degree of pigmentation. In that case, we recommend the OSMO granular oil glaze with eighteen color differences.
