Dark Red Meranti is a tropical hardwood that is used for exterior decking, but you can also find it used as siding.
Dark Red Meranti has a dark reddish or purplish-brown color appearance with white resin streaks typically present.
Dark Red Meranti is characterized by a uniform texture, which is slightly fluted. 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.
After drying, this wood is well shaped in shape, easy and clean to process, has an even smooth surface, and can be well surface treated.
Our Dark Red Meranti wood comes from Malaysia and is an example of excellent quality and durability.
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.
