Tropical woods
They are hard woods. This characteristic gives it special resistance to humidity and pests. Therefore, these are highly valued woods in the international market. Thanks to these characteristics, we are dealing with a raw material designed primarily for outdoor use, although it is also used in various indoor uses.
All our wood is regulated, comes from forests in which there is a legal right of exploitation and is subject to compliance with laws, regulations and official documentation regarding its traceability, chain of custody and according to Cites criteria, European Union Timber regulation and EUDR
