Kebony | EmiratesGBC

Kebony, a Norwegian company, pioneers wood innovation with Dually Modified™ wood technology, offering a durable alternative to hardwood, trusted by architects for over two decades. Known for its hardness, stability, and a 35-year warranty Kebony wood evolves from rich brown to a natural silver-grey patina over time. Widely chosen for cladding and decking, Kebony products offer a sustainable solution for many outdoor applications worldwide, ensuring longevity for up to 35 years.

Kebony revolutionizes wood enhancement through a patented technique that significantly boosts strength and longevity. This innovative process involves the impregnation with a biobased liquid, triggering two pivotal actions within the wood cell simultaneously.

Active Modification The biobased liquid actively engages with OH-groups in the wood, reducing water sensitivity and enhancing durability against environmental factors.

Passive Modification Simultaneously, the biobased liquid creates a polymer that serves as reinforcement, directly contributing to increased strength and hardness while giving a distinctive brown colour to the wood.

Dually Modified Process The combination of active and passive modification, known as the unique Dually Modified TM process, allows Kebony to go beyond tropical hardwood performance in a sustainable way.
