Batu (Red Balau) Decking
Widely considered the Mahogany of Indonesia, Batu hardwood decking is a rare Indonesian wood, which comes in an elegant range of reddish brown tones with an even texture.
Batu’s strikingly rich appearance gives an outdoor project the look of luxury, but at a considerably lower price than most other tropical hardwoods. Batu, which means “rock” in Indonesian, is also resistant to scratches, dents and abrasions, which is another testament to its durability.
