Itauba –(Mezilaurus Itauba)<\/i><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
Itauba is also known as Taoub or Kaneelhout. Most of the various countries that use Itauba use it as wood siding, decking, and deck tiles. This species is durable, dense, rot and decay resistant. It is only a matter of time before this species of wood becomes much more prevalent on the decking and siding market. Color varies between a goldish brown to a deep lustrous brown lacking a distinct sapwood. There are natural small black oil spots that are present throughout a high percentage of this species. Itauba is less expensive than the other woods and is a good alternative if the black spots are acceptable. The length of lumber produced from this species is not as long as some of the other species. Available as FSC certified and kiln-dried (KD). We have itauba available in decking<\/a>, flooring<\/a>, dimensional lumber, E4E, S4S, RS (Rough Sawn)<\/a>, deck tiles<\/a>, and table slabs<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Exterior Wood Recommendation:<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n

Species covering the use class 5: Yes
\nThe possible presence of few demarcated sapwood in sawn woods may have an influence on the
\nexpected durability. This species naturally covers the use class 5 (end-uses in marine environment or
\nin brackish water) due to its high specific gravity and its repulsive extracts content.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
