Frake Wood

Pronounced ‘Frack-E’, this species is native to West Africa. A thermal treatment transforms this timber in to a robust and beautiful cladding material which won’t warp or crack over time like alternatives do. Warm tones and a fine grain give this exceptional hardwood a perfect finish.

Unlike the more common Oak and Cedar; Frake is a relatively knot free timber giving a consistent and smooth appearance which with only a moderate amount of ongoing maintenance will retain it’s beauty, looking ‘as new’ for a longer period of time.

Frake was a previously unusable timber; however, the thermal treatment technology has made it a sophisticated and versatile timber. Better still, it is available in abundance as opposed to its over-sourced counterparts, making it better for forest sustainability.
