Gabonese Wood Species Advantages

Gabon is often called the “Woodcore of Africa,” and for good reason. Our native species offer distinct advantages for engineered flooring:

Okoumé (Aucoumea klaineana): Lightweight yet stable, with a beautiful pinkish-brown hue and a fine, uniform texture. It is exceptionally workable and finishes beautifully, offering a unique look that is not commonly found in the U.S. market.
Bilinga (Nauclea diderrichii): Known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear, comparable to White Oak. Its golden-yellow to orange-red color matures into a rich, deep bronze, offering a stunning and highly durable option.
Doussié (Afzelia spp.): Extremely hard and naturally resistant to insects and decay. Doussié boasts a beautiful color variation from reddish-brown to a purplish-brown, with a coarse texture that adds immense character.
Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii): Famous for its vibrant, striking orange-red heartwood that ages to a rich, deep burgundy or purple-brown. It is very hard, strong, and stable, making a bold design statement.

Engineered Oak Flooring

Our engineered oak flooring is made from multiple layers of wood. The top layer consists of solid oak, while the underneath consists of multiple layers, each stuck in opposing directions, which make up a multi-laminate plywood core. This creates not only a more affordable option, but one that is more stable and reliable than solid oak and, just as importantly, looks as beautiful and can last as long.
