New demands
Traditionally, the unwritten rule has been that if you want the best quality decking, you had to choose teak. But rules are made to be broken. And that is exactly what we are doing.
The new generation of shipowners is demanding sustainable wood types. That is why we invented Kebony wood, which is made of sustainable wood in an environmentally friendly process.
The result is a material that is as beautiful, durable and as stable as teak, yet stronger and practically maintenance-free.
Tested results
Kebony is a result of a process where the properties of sustainable wood are being enhanced. In this process bio-based substances are cured inside the wood. The wood becomes harder and more stable, and its durability is improved.
Kebony has been field tested the yacht decking for two years, and additional tests have been done by a decking producer in Norway. Furthermore, a leading Norwegian yacht producer did use a boat with Kebony decking during the summer 2008. Another three Norwegian boat producers have decided to install Kebony decking into their promotional boats during the coming months.
The experience can be summed up by two quotes from the industry:
"The Kebony decking seems to be better than teak in terms of surface wear and easier to clean (without surface treatment)"
"After having experienced the Kebony decking this summer, we are very satisfied. Kebony is easy to keep clean, very comfortable to walk on, it has a nice appearance and keeps the colour."
Qualities, qualities
Kebony used in boat decking is based on maple, and the key properties after the process are as follows:
- Durability class 1
- Very stable
- more stable than teak
- Hard material
