Modern or Rustic with Kebony
Kebony Clear offers a sleek, knot-free finish ideal for contemporary designs, while Kebony Character retains visible knots for a more rustic and natural appearance—yet both maintain the same high-performance characteristics. For designers and builders seeking long-lasting beauty, technical reliability, and flexible colour options, Kebony sets a new standard in modified wood performance.
Kebony: Stability that lasts
Thanks to Kebony’s patented modification process, the surface becomes more stable, reducing movement and cracking. This enhanced stability means that coatings adhere better and last longer on Kebony compared to many other woods. Whether applying pigmented oils, water-based stains, or penetrating finishes, users will find that Kebony’s smooth, durable surface allows for deeper absorption and more uniform coverage—making maintenance cycles less frequent and more effective.

Get grey from day one with Kebony
For those seeking an immediate weathered look, Kebony Colour Grey offers grey from day one — timeless forever. This sacrificial coating gives projects a sleek, consistent grey appearance at delivery, avoiding the initial brown stage entirely. Over time, the coating naturally fades, allowing the boards to transition seamlessly to Kebony’s enduring silver-grey, ensuring long-term beauty with zero compromise. Available for both Kebony Clear and Kebony Character, it’s a favourite among architects and clients seeking instant elegance and lasting harmony.
