Why use Ekki
Our Ekki timber is a top choice for projects requiring exceptional durability and stability. Known for its remarkable density and strength, Ekki withstands heavy loads and harsh conditions, making it ideal for structural applications.
Its natural resistance to decay and marine borers enhances its longevity, especially in marine environments. This makes Ekki perfect for use in docks, bridges, and other water-exposed structures.
Additionally, its stability ensures minimal movement and warping over time, even in fluctuating climates, making Ekki a reliable and long-lasting timber for demanding construction and marine projects.
