Kebony

Description

Norwegian company producing modified wood through furfurylation: it impregnates sustainably sourced pine with furfuryl alcohol derived from agricultural residues and polymerises it with heat, achieving a durability comparable to tropical hardwoods without biocides. It manufactures decking, façade and roofing timber in Skien (Norway) and Antwerp (Belgium). It has environmental product declarations verified by EPD Norge, such as NEPD-3515-2106 (roofing) and NEPD-3659-2604 (decking), and positions itself as an alternative that reduces pressure on tropical forests.
