Anybody who knows their stuff will tell you that all wood isn’t created equal.

It’s also incredibly important to remember that as we continue to trash the planet we live on, the move to a more sustainable model of timber production is a vital and necessary step.

Rhino Wood are leading the charge locally, with their earth-friendly, sustainable, renewable and carbon-neutral natural resource, but that doesn’t mean their goodies aren’t very easy on the eye.

Let’s look at some of the more popular uses for timber, and how Rhino Wood have stepped up to the plate.

THE PERGOLA

Timber is the traditional last word in pergolas. It also has that incomparable feel and texture that’s trending across modern designs. But here’s a heads up – you can no longer choose a hardwood for your pergola project, because they’re no longer on the good list.

They’re highly threatened natural resources (bad for the planet if we keep chopping them down) and they require regular maintenance (bad for your back).

Luckily, Rhino Wood is virtually maintenance free and, left to nature, it weathers to a very trendy grey. This keeps your pergola looking good, your pockets full, and the planet in decent nick.

THE GREENEST GREENHOUSE

The high-moisture environment of a greenhouse contributes to rapid decay, rotting and insect damage. So, if you’re going green with timber, you need to choose a smart timber that’s insect, rot and fungus resistant, as well as non-toxic and chemical free.

Other attributes high on the greenhouse list should be durability, dimensional stability, strength and beauty – all boxes that Rhino Wood ticks.

DECKED OUT

Outdoor patios and pool decks take a beating from South Africa’s often extreme weather conditions, making it essential to use only the finest quality decking material.

Modified Rhino Wood is specifically created for exterior use, and the raw material for its production comes from local pine, which is renewable and sustainably grown.

Its natural patented modification process structurally changes the softwood and Rhino Wood.  The result is a new age, new technology timber with enhanced characteristics that match, and in some instances exceed, the much-desired qualities of the planet’s highly endangered tropical hardwoods.

STARING AT THE CEILING IN A GOOD WAY

Architectural ceilings are all the rage, and Rhino Wood’s flexibility allows cutting and shaping into an endless variety of different profiles and styles.

Designers have the freedom to create an endless range of timber concepts, be they high-ceilinged hallways, or outdoor lounge areas where timber creates an instant sophistication as an architectural feature.

Ultimately, of the many construction materials you can choose, Rhino Wood stands out as unique in its patented production process, its aesthetic appeal, its strength and durability, and its suitability.
