HARDWOOD DOORS

General

The wood that is used for our hardwood doors is obtained from sustainable plantations all over Indonesia that are monitored by the Indonesian Government.

We mainly produce doors in new Djati Teak, old Djati Teak, Merbau, Bangkirai and Rain tree wood (a Mahogany resembling wood).

The wood used for our doors is kiln dried (except old Teak) to a maximum moisture content of 12%. During the course of fabrication and shipment to destination the moisture content may rise until some 20% (wood is a cellulose material and behaves like a sponge, re-absorbing water from the atmosphere). An MC of 25% is still very acceptable for doors.

In termite (white ant) invested places we advise the use of either Teak wood or Bangkirai as both of the wood species are not susceptible to termite attacks (100% safe). The life time in the open for untreated wood (no varnish, lacquer, paint or polishing) in the open is as follows:

Teak wood: 30 to 35 years
Merbau: 20 to 25 years
Bangkria: 25 to 30 years
Raintree wood: 10 to 15 years

We supply doors with thicknesses ranging from 35 mm to 50 mm. The door panels are constructed as "floating" as to allow for expansion and contraction between the door rails and door stiles. The connection between the rails and stile are made following the tongue and groove method and glued together with epoxy (no dowels are used).

NEW TEAK WOOD

General

Teak is one of the most valuable timbers, "the king under the timbers", in ancient times considered as "a royal timber". Teak is world wide recognized for its durability and stability, The timber is immense stable, has a high oil content that works as "built-in" natural water repellent and is therefore virtually immune to rotting, fungi and harsh chemicals. Teak is one of the few timbers that can withstand the heat of the desert and will not readily catch fire.

Untreated teak can be left in the open for more than 30 years whilst becoming an attractive soft silver color. Teak is one of the timbers not susceptible to termite (white ants) attacks.

Teak will not turn black when in contact with metals.   

Appearance

Teak has a great beauty. It is generally fine to coarsely grained, even texture, medium luster and an oily feel. Yellow brown to dark golden brown heartwood and grayish or white sapwood.

Physical properties

Teak has a high degree of natural durability, is moderately hard and heavy with low stiffness and shock resistance but an excellent decay  resistance and dimensional stability with a good acid resistance.

Use

Exterior and interior doors, parquet, indoor and outdoor furniture, ship decks.

We produce doors from mainly two type of teak timbers; Bojonegoro teak from the Mid and Mid-East of the island of Java and Banuywangi teak from the East of Java. Bojonegoro teak is considered one of the highest quality teaks available in the world. It has an unparalleled beauty, warm color and a coarse even structure. Banuywangi teak is somewhat lower in quality, not as warm in color as Bojonegoro teak. It has few small white calcium spots. Banyuwangi is less durable against white ants attack. 

OLD TEAK WOOD

The old teak wood that we use is obtained from the dismantling and knocking down of old colonial buildings from East Java. The wood is over 100 years old and is dried by natural process (ranging from 15% to 20% MC). The wood has a beautiful warm color and a remarkable grain structure. Most of the teak wood came from the Bojonegoro area.

Physical properties are similar to new Teak wood (see above).

MERBAU (Intsia Bijuga)

General

Merbau is widely used due to its beautiful look and excellent physical characteristics, such as hardness, durability and moisture resistance. It is a very hard material and resists deformation. It can easily withstand any weather changes and is therefore very useful for exterior doors. Merbau used for exteriors doors is normally from Class III to IV.

Untreated Merbau can be left in the open for more than 20 years. Merbau is only susceptible for termite (white ants) attacks when is is classified in Class II. Merbau endurance against fungus is Class I

Merbau will stain black when in contact with metals.   

Appearance

The wood texture is evenly coarse. The grain is straight or occasionally slightly interlocked. The wood surface is smooth and glossy. The heartwood is brown-gray, brown-yellow, brown-red or black.

Physical properties

Merbau has a high degree of natural durability, is very hard and performs well in heavy traffic areas.

Use

Exterior and interior doors, parquet, furniture, paneling.

BANGKIRA, or BELAU (Shorea Laevis)

General

Bangkirai (or sometimes named Balau) is a highly rated timber that is frequently used for trusses and structural wood members in areas where termites habitat. Bangkirai is not susceptible to the attacks of the ants.  

Untreated Bangkirai can be left in the open for more than 25 years.

Appearance

The wood texture of Bangkirai ranges from fine to rather coarse. The  grain is straight or interlocked. The wood surface is smooth or alternately smooth and rough owing to the interlocked grain. Wood surface is glossy. Yellowish heartwood and yellowish pale light brown sapwood.

Physical properties

Bangkirai has a high strength and durability, is hard and heavy with high stiffness and shock resistance. Excellent decay   resistance and dimensional stability.

Use

Exterior and interior doors, roof structures, construction members, railway sleepers, electric poles, parquet

RAIN TREE WOOD (Pithecellobium Saman)

General

Rain tree wood is used by us since early 2000 as a substitute for Mahogany. At that time Mahogany became a wood species that was difficult to obtain due to the fact that a Government controlled factory in Indonesia claimed the timber from all the sustainable Mahogany plantations for the production of office furniture. Since then raw Mahogany prices for the commercial use for doors increased dramatically. Prices were not longer economical. Rain tree wood (locally called Suar wood), or sometimes Monkey Pod, is a wood species that resembles Mahogany in structure grain and color, but is better workable when still green. The timber is more stable than Mahogany. Unfortunately Rain tree wood is not fully safe to dry wood termite attacks. Untreated Rain tree wood may last for some 15 years in the open.

Appearance

Interlocked or straight grain, often with a ribbon figure and a moderately coarse texture. Creamy white sapwood and reddish brown hearthwood, often with a purple cast. Rain tree wood shows figures which include stripe, roe, curly, blister, fiddleback and mottle.

Physical properties

Very stable hardwood. Moderately heavy but very strong and durable in decay resistance and moderately resistant to dry-wood termites. Low stiffness and shock resistance. Rain tree wood is favoured by many people due to its capability not to crack when it is brought to dryer climates.

Use

Interior doors, cabinetry, indoor furniture, boat building, paneling, veneers.
