Grades

Through rigorous testing and research, Kebony has created distinct product grades to ensure your project has the look you want plus the strength and stability you need.

Kebony Clear

Kebony Clear is a neat, sophisticated wood with a subtle grain that is free of knots. It is the perfect balance of refined taste and natural authenticity that provides an effortless beauty to any application. Like all Kebony products, Kebony Clear has a deep brown color that over time will develop an elegant silver-gray patina. Produced from FSC®-certified Pinus Radiata, it stands as a top-rated choice for environmentally responsible builders and architects. Creating a look of approachable perfection is simple with Kebony Clear.

Clear products are modified throughout the entire board and can be further machined like any hardwood.

Kebony Character

The Kebony technology was developed in Norway and serves the industry as an environmentally friendly, patented process that enhances the properties of sustainable softwood. Kebony is a low-maintenance material that does not require any additional treatment beyond normal cleaning, leaving you more time to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the natural world around us.

Character products should not be further machined, or split, as untreated heartwood will be exposed. However, they can be cross-cut to length. After cross-cutting, the exposed ends should be treated with a wood preservative to ensure proper protection.

Appearance

All Kebony woods have a deep brown color that will turn to a silver-gray patina over time. The speed of this graying process depends on the intensity of exposure to environmental elements like the sun and rain combined with the type of application.

Performance

Kebony is a highly durable, sustainable wood with the aesthetics and performance of the best tropical hardwoods. It requires minimal maintenance while providing a low life-cycle cost and the peace of mind of a 30-year warranty.
