Rubber
wood is wood from the ParĂ¡ rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), often called the
rubber tree. Rubber wood, also called parawood in Thailand, is used in high-end
furniture as it is valued for its dense grain, attractive colour, minimal shrinkage,
and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an "environmentally
friendly" wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end
of their latex-producing cycle. The older practice was to burn the "useless"
tree. It is one of the more durable hardwood lumbers used in the manufacturing
of home furnishings of this decade.Therefore, the Malaysian governmnet had taken
the initiative and it was sucessful with the initial export of rubber wood as
sawn timber products ( mainly furniture components ). Rubber Wood from a
valueless timeber almost fifteen years ago, is now one of the major resource for
making furniture for export and for the production of the panel products such
as particleboards ( MDF) ,woodfibre cement-bonded particleboard, plywood and other
products. We, at Triswift Designs Sdn Bhd endeavour to provide our customers
with highest quality eco- friendly wood at the cheapest rate. |
