Iroko
Why use Iroko
Here at east brothers we recommend Iroko for outside applications where it withstands the elements without the need for regular treatment.
Iroko is widely used in exterior joinery, decking, and garden furniture due to its weather-resistant properties.
It’s also a popular choice for window frames, doors, and cladding.
Additionally, its strength and resistance to moisture make it suitable for marine applications, such as boat building and dock construction.
Indoors, Iroko is used for flooring, worktops, and cabinetry, offering a combination of beauty and longevity. Its ease of maintenance and natural resistance to pests further enhance its appeal for both residential and commercial projects.
Our knowledgeable team is ready to help you make the most of Iroko for your specific needs. Feel free to reach out for expert advice and guidance on your timber project.
