EXOTIC WOOD
For decades, Robelbois has imported and stocked a wide variety of exotic woods from Africa and South America. These precious woods have emerged into high-end interior and exterior joinery, thanks to their visual appearance and technical characteristics.
These woods are not only beautiful, some species are naturally “Class 4” and can be used in exterior projects, especially in the manufacturing of decking.
