Red Meranti timber
Red Meranti timber is a tropical hardwood originating from Southeast Asia, known for its reddish-brown color and straight to interlocking grain. It is moderately durable and lightweight, making it easy to work with. Red Meranti is commonly used in construction, furniture, joinery, and interior paneling. While it is resistant to warping and takes finishes well, it may require treatment for outdoor use to improve its resistance to decay and pests. Its affordability and attractive appearance make it a popular choice for both interior and exterior applications.
