What is Iroko Wood?

Iroko (Milicia excelsa and Milicia regia) is a hardwood species native to West and Central Africa. It is often referred to as African teak due to its similar properties to traditional teak wood. However, unlike teak, Iroko is more widely available and a more sustainable option in many cases.

Key Properties of Iroko Wood

1. Exceptional Durability: Iroko is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insect attacks, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications.

2. Weather Resistance: It withstands varying climates, from humid tropical regions to cold and wet environments, without warping or cracking easily.

3. Aesthetic Appeal: With its rich golden-brown color that darkens over time, Iroko adds a timeless elegance to any design.

4. Low Maintenance: Unlike many other hardwoods, Iroko does not require frequent oiling or sealing, making it a practical choice for long-term use.

5. Sustainability: While demand for Iroko is high, responsible sourcing from certified plantations ensures its sustainability in the market.

Common Uses of Iroko Wood

Due to its impressive properties, Iroko is widely used in:

• Outdoor Furniture: Its durability makes it a top choice for garden swings, benches, and tables.

• Boat Building: The wood’s resistance to moisture and rot makes it ideal for marine applications.

• Doors and Windows: It provides a stable and stylish option for architectural woodwork
