Frake

If you’re looking for unbeatable strength and an attractive wood for aesthetic applications, frake is the best option for the job. 

Also known as Limba or Terminalia Superba, Frake is a West African hardwood renowned for its exceptional strength and distinctive grain patterns. 

The durability of this wood is greatly increased by a thermal modification technique that uses heat and steam; it has a Durability Class 1 rating and a lifespan of more than 25 years. This makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. 

With resistance to pests, moisture, and harsh weather conditions, frake is commonly used for external cladding, decking, wall panelling, and furniture. Its warm and rich tones add character to any home, accentuating architectural features.

Plus, this wood is knot-free, offering a clean, smooth, and consistent appearance. This makes it ideal for applications requiring elegance and beauty. Our Fraké Optima Channel 10 cladding creates a more pronounced shadow line effect, perfect for decking areas.
