Azobé wood is widely applicable
Azobé wood is an important type of wood in the Regge Hout range. This reddish-brown hardwood is a very heavy, hard wood that is widely used as construction wood because of its great strength, wear resistance and durability and is very suitable for applications in civil engineering, road construction and hydraulic engineering. Azobé hardwood is also very durable because of its high mass and strong properties. All kinds of products can be made from Azobé, such as lock gates, barriers, weirs, jetties, bridges, bridge decks, sheet piles, purlins, piles, planks and friction purlins. Other applications include dragline mats, horse boxes and construction components in galleries and platforms. Our Azobé wood can be supplied with an FSC® quality mark.
