Solid Merbau Parquet

Merbau (also known as Kwila or Ipil) is a durable and dense tropical hardwood, highly valued for flooring applications. It features a rich color range, from yellowish-brown to dark reddish-brown tones, giving the floor a warm and exotic appearance.

This parquet is made from solid wood, ensuring a natural look, high durability, and the ability to refinish the floor multiple times.

The Select grade guarantees a clean and uniform appearance with minimal defects.

The unfinished surface allows you to choose your preferred finish – oil, lacquer, or other coatings – adapting the floor to your specific project.
