Understanding Rubberwood...

Rubberwood is one of the most durable lumbers currently being used in the construction industry and manufacturing of furniture, flooring, toys and more. It has very little shrinkage making it one of the most stable construction materials available and due to it’s latex properties has very little tendency to crack or warp. Rubberwood is strong, flexible and also resistant to fungus, bacteria and mold. It offers absolutely no compromise on quality, workability or finish when compared to other more conventional hardwoods.

After the economic life of the rubber tree, (Iaka Pará or Hevea brasiliensis!) when latex yields had diminished the trees were felled and burned to enable new ones to be planted. Today, AFTER the trees complete their natural latex producing cycle and die, they are felled but now saved for a huge variety of end uses. Unlike other timbers the trees are never cut down purely for the use of industry production. Most importantly rubberwood is the most ecologically friendly lumber currently available; as what would otherwise go to waste is now constructively being used.
