Merbau comes in a fairly wide range of colour variability, from light browns to medium browns to dark browns, with some yellow dust in the pores which show up as gold "flecking" when finished. Merbau undergoes a medium to large degree of colour change, with the muting of the colour variation from when fresh milled and with darkening over time to deeper orange-brown colour.

We had several inquiries recently, for custom woodworking - including our famous outdoor deck, that asked for two different species: Bangkirai/Yellow Balau (Shorea Laevifolia Endert) or Ulin/Ironwood (Eusideroxylon Zwageri). Although both species come from completely different scientific classification, their propeties are almost similar. Both are fairly easy to work with, yellowish to brownish in color, straight grain, insects resistant, and many more similarities. The important difference is the hardness, which Ulin is considered the most durable and heaviest timber in the world, while Bangkirai can only match it to 30 years of lifespan.

Bangkirai, as our main timber material for outdoor and garden products, is among the world's most naturally termite resistant woods. Tested by the University of Hawaii's Department of Entomology, Bangkirai "..is extremely resistant to termite attack and is a ... replacement for preservative-treated lumber..".

Faktor utama yang membuat pemilik rumah memilih untuk menggunakan lantai kayu adalah karakter spesial dan sifat elegan yang dihasilkan lantai kayu. Saat pemilik rumah mulai tertarik untuk menggunakan lantai kayu sebagai pengganti keramik yang membosankan dan yang biayanya lebih mahal dari lantai kayu WoodPro, maka muncul beberapa pertanyaan yang dikarenakan sifat kayu yang berbeda dengan sifat keramik.

Satu hal yang terpenting ketika pemilik rumah memutuskan untuk menggunakan lantai kayu sebagai bagian dari kehidupan sehari-harinya, adalah cara memperlakukan lantai kayu tersebut.

Kayu adalah salah satu elemen yang memiliki sifat alami, cantik dan design tekstur yang abadi. Dengan merawatnya secara konsisten dan benar, maka sifat-sifat positif tersebut bisa terus dipertahankan.

Dengan mengikuti beberapa cara merawat lantai kayu dibawah ini, anda harus siap mendapatkan lirikan dan pujian dari keluarga dan teman saat mereka mampir ke rumah anda, hingga bertahun-tahun kemudian.

• Letakkan keset kaki/sepatu/sandal di setiap jalan masuk ruangan yang berlantai kayu untuk menahan penyebaran pasir atau kerikil yang terbawa oleh alas kaki. Partikel-partikel mungil ini bersifat abrasif dan perlahan menggores finishing lantai kayu. Hindari keset yang alasnya terbuat dari karet atau keset yang tidak berventilasi. Gunakan keset khusus untuk lantai kayu, dan bersihkan secara rutin.

• Gunakanlah penyapu dan pengepel yang berkualitas baik secara rutin untuk mengusir debu, pasir dan partikel lain.

• Vaccum cleaner juga baik untuk digunakan untuk menghisap partikel yang tersembunyi.

• Gunakan produk khusus pembersih lantai kayu untuk membersihkan noda atau tumpahan cairan lain tanpa membuat lantai kayu menjadi kusam.

• Lantai kayu yang finishing-nya menggunakan poly-urethane, membutuhkan pembersih yang tidak meninggalkan residu dan tidak mengandung bahan wax (lilin).

• Untuk titik yang terkena noda lengket, bersihkan dengan kain berbahan handuk atau sponge basah.

• Jangan gunakan pembersih dengan amonia atau sabun berminyak, karena akan mengakibatkan permukaan lantai kayu menjadi kusam.

• Karena sifat kayu yang mengembang ketika terlalu lembab, maka hindari penggunaan pel kain yang terlalu basah. Bila terlalu basah, lantai kayu dapat menggembung hingga timbul keretakan atau perubahan bentuk.

Kesimpulannya, merawat lantai kayu adalah sama halnya dengan merawat lantai dari material lainnya. Hanya saja bahan pembersihnya berbeda dan perlakuannya membutuhkan perhatian yang lebih. Lantai kayu bukan lagi sekedar alas untuk rumah anda, tetapi merupakan dekorasi yang mewah dan eksotik yang menjadi bagian utama dari rumah itu sendiri.

Introducing our new product: WoodPro's Hardwood Flooring for your indoor enjoyment. Yes, mostly we do outdoor stuff, so now, why indoor? Well, since the beginning we have specialized ourselves in making the most important platforms for outdoor living spaces, we know better how to make a durable and strong decking, and of course in creating a quality wood flooring for indoor the same idea applies.

Why going with wood floors?
Let's hear what NWFA have to say about wood flooring:
"No other flooring offers the warmth, beauty, and value of wood. Wood flooring enhances the décor of any room, and provides timeless beauty that will increase in value throughout the years. In fact, in a national survey of real estate agents, 90 percent said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood floors. That’s money in your pocket!"

WoodPro's Wood Floor is made of beech wood, imported from North America, which is also one of the most popular hardwood flooring materials. Engineered to precision, our wood floors are made of 100% real wood, no veneer or vinyl whatsoever, from top to the most bottom. All solid wood. This means more durable, beautiful, easy maintenance and most importantly creates a stunning look for any home. Only natural woods enjoy an innate variation in grain patterns and color.

WoodPro's Wood Floor comes with two sizes of parquet tiles: 15 x 15cm and the mozaic 30 x 30cm. Both creating a beautiful checkered pattern.

WoodPro's Wood Floor comes in custom colors with PU coating finish for durability, scratch resistant, and easy maintenance.

Like any other wood floors, WoodPro’s is affordable. Over time, wood floors maintain their value. When other flooring options are looking tired and worn out, wood floors will still look beautiful and timeless.

Wood floors are ecologically friendly. Since it is a natural resource, wood is both renewable and recyclable. Many of yesteryear’s old wood ships , warehouses, barns, and other structures often find a second life in wood flooring. And, because wood does not collect dust and other allergens, many leading health associations agree that wood floors are the perfect choice for a healthy home.

Price installed is Rp. 65.000 per square meter (excluded supporting materials).
Now that's what we call affordable for everyone. So why wait, WoodPro's Beech Wood Floor has better quality than "fake hdf flooring" or "veneer/engineered flooring" for a lot less than both.

To answer many of our great DIYers' requests for smaller deck tiles, we created few more models of 30 x 30 cm made to order outdoor/indoor deck tiles.
Plastic base has interlocking connectors on sides, therefore it is also suitable for indoor and bathrooms, while wooden base deck tiles are perfect for terrace or walkways. Both are providing true DIY's attitude: install instantly and enjoy.

To complete the renovation of their pool-side cafe and restaurant, Klub Kelapa Gading has chosen WoodPro's outdoor Bangkirai Decking to outline an area of about 2.5 meters wide and 57 meters long. This is the outer area along the cafe. The deck will be filled with sets of dining table on top of it for everyone's outdoor pleasure.
We chose 19 x 90 mm reeded decking, and for framing was 5 x 8 cm V-grooved joist, all using bangkirai type of timber.
With gaps of 3-4 mm, the deck creates a simple but yet a dramatic result. The deck is raised 8 cm above ground with open sides.
Installation was pretty simple and straightforward. A team of two decking installers covered the whole area in total of 5 days.
The deck was finished using teak oil to preserve its beautiful yellowish color and to add up more strength and durability.

Having a private spa in own backyard is everyone's dream. Being in one, is another. How about the backyard itself? Is it actually ready? Here are few words to give you idea planning and designing your very own private hot tub.

A Platform for Luxury and Comfort
A deck or patio is an ideal spot to set up your spa/hot tub retreat. Whether you have an existing deck/patio or are planning to design and build one from scratch, planning ahead will produce a built-in, integrated look. There are three ways to install a hot tub on your deck: flush-mounted with the deck surface, partially mounted in the deck surface so that a portion of the hot tub is exposed, or freestanding. Freestanding spas rest directly on top of the deck. The advantage to this type of setup is that if you ever remove the spa, there won't be a hole in your deck. Remember that deck materials aren't limited to wood, although wood is the best material to boost the look and feel of your deck. Alternative surface options include ceramic tile, slate, brick and stone. Don't be afraid to mix and match.

A Room With A View
Professional landscaping around your spa can complete the transformation of your backyard into a permanent retreat. Many times a new spa is placed in an existing lawn area or on a deck. Trees, shrubs and flowers surrounding your spa can create many different atmospheres. Be aware of the location of any tree limbs, as you do not want them hanging over your spa. Landscaping is not possible in every environment. For these situations there are many ways to create an inviting atmosphere. Some ideas include: gazebo, arbors, built-in planter boxes, freestanding planters, potted plants, hanging baskets, and additional water features such as fountains and waterfalls

Built-in planter boxes grouped in tiers are an effective way to create depth in areas of limited space. Hanging baskets offer a variety of elements like color, fragrance, texture and interest. If you have a wall, lattice or screen of any kind, hang several half baskets.

Patio coverings range from very simple to complex. You can create different environments by selecting a particular type of wood, posts and lattice design, sealant, stain or paint. The amount of sunlight and privacy can be controlled by how close the spacing of the lattice is. Growing flowering and fragrant vines on the covering produces a very cozy atmosphere.

Privacy
Enclosing your spa with a decorative hot tub gazebo is a great way to enhance the sense of a getaway and increase privacy.

Sliding windows allow the option of an open-air feeling or privacy. They are also beneficial for year-round use. Pitched roofs keep the elements out of the hot tub. Combination roofs keep most of the snow out, but enable you to enjoy some of the outdoors.

Hachi-Hachi Bistro outdoor project was to build a 5 x 12 meters of raised deck complete with railing, planters divider and skirt. On top of it, the owner, Alfred, wanted us to build a "bedroom lounge" style seating booth for a row and garden parasol table with chair set on the other row.
The area we are going to use is the walkway pavement of G-Walk Citra Raya, just right outside of Hachi-Hachi Bistro. Alfred is expanding his business, by going outdoor.
Property management did not allow us to level the pavement, it was a bit too steep to be able to lay a standard under-construction. Nevertheless, we need to adjust to the unleveled pavement and to ensure strength and durability, we did it with bangkirai timber 4 x 6 cm and 6 x 15 cm joists.
Meanwhile, in the factory, we are preparing a 2 x 8 meters seating booth, dining table and chair set, railing and planters. There were a few adjustments during pre-fabrication, the restaurant Alfred really care about the detail design and loved to get involve in the making of these items. We were very delightful with this great enthusiasm and worked the best way to fit his needs.
We delivered all pre-fabricated items and installed them right on the deck. Starting from the main structure which was the seating booth complete with roofing. Then the railing, planters and other accessories. Everything was completed in 5 working days.
