What is Iroko Solid Panel? Features and Outdoor Applications

Iroko solid panel is a hardwood originating from Central and West Africa, known for its exceptional resistance to external conditions. Naturally resistant to water, humidity, and harmful UV rays, iroko is indispensable for outdoor projects. Considered the closest alternative to teak wood, this premium panel adds value to your projects with its low maintenance and rich color that darkens over time. At Kuruoğlu Kerestecilik, we provide high-quality iroko solid panels for long-lasting outdoor designs.

What is Iroko Solid Panel?

Iroko solid panel is produced from the tropical African tree Milicia excelsa. Thanks to its high density and natural oil content, it offers inherent resistance to moisture. Initially yellowish in color, iroko darkens into characteristic deep brown tones when exposed to air and sunlight. Its hard and fibrous structure makes it highly resistant to mechanical impacts.

Applications

Iroko solid panels are widely used in outdoor applications:

• Outdoor furniture (garden tables, chairs, sun loungers)
• Boat and yacht manufacturing (decking)
• Poolside deck applications
• Exterior cladding (facade systems)
• Garden landscaping
• Marine structures (piers, walkways)

Thanks to its natural resistance to water, humidity, and sunlight, it maintains its performance for many years even in harsh weather conditions.
