Treatment | Untreated, Iroko is naturally rot-resistant and highly durable, making it an excellent choice for external use. While its natural properties provide resistance to decay and insects, we recommend applying a suitable wood oil or stain, such as OSMO, to preserve its rich golden-brown tones and provide additional protection against weathering and cracking. Staining not only enhances Iroko’s natural durability but also helps it maintain its appearance and structural integrity over time, ensuring longevity in exposed outdoor environments. |
