Originally from Nigeria, African IROKO is a wood widely used in shipbuilding. It has a warm, golden color and it responds well when processed by hand tools and machines. In addition, when the proper undercoats are used, it also provides an excellent finish and is, therefore, an ideal choice for yacht exteriors (planking, deck, keel, sternpost etc.).

 

Thanks to its high resilience, IROKO is suitable for spaces that undergo intensive use, as well as for extreme weather conditions, while its durability in time is estimated to exceed 25 years, with no need for painting or maintenance. The strong water effects on the wood, which change over time due to its photosensitivity, make IROKO a perfect choice for exterior constructions with a particular aesthetic.
