Kebony is a high-quality, sustainable wood that doesn’t require any maintenance besides basic cleaning. Kebony has proven qualities for a wide range of areas, and is often the preferred material for patios and exterior cladding. The Kebony Technology is a patented and environmentally friendly wood treatment process originally developed in Norway. This process uses a biobased fluid to improve the qualities and characteristics of the wood. The cell structure is permanently altered, providing the wood with the abilities and deep tan resembling tropical hardwood.
