Durian – PEFC-Certified Lightweight Hardwood for Furniture and Interior Joinery

Durian wood is known for its ease of machining, gluing, and finishing, making it a popular choice for cost-effective wood products that require a smooth, uniform appearance. As a PEFC-certified sustainable timber, it aligns with responsible forestry practices for environmentally conscious manufacturing.
