Greenheart
Why use Greenheart
Greenheart timber is invaluable for sea defense and marine work due to its exceptional strength, density, and natural resistance to decay and marine borers.
This durability ensures that structures built with Greenheart can withstand the harsh, corrosive conditions of saltwater environments.
Its high load-bearing capacity makes it ideal for constructing piers, jetties, and other marine installations where stability and longevity are critical.
Greenheart’s ability to endure constant exposure to water and resist the effects of marine organisms makes it a reliable choice for protecting coastlines and supporting long-lasting maritime infrastructure.
