Tulipwood Slats
Tulipwood is a truly beautiful hardwood species that offers several notable benefits. Apart from its sustainable sourcing, Tulipwood is also known for its distinctive colours. The heartwood of Tulipwood ranges from a light yellowish-brown to a greenish-brown, while the sapwood can appear creamy white.
This timber is incredibly durable due to the cambia thermal modification process. This process involves heating the wood to high temperatures to enhance its durability and performance. The resulting wood is resistant to rotting, warping and insects, making it a sound investment that will last 25 to 30 years.

How long do tulipwood slats last?
Tulipwood fence slats will last up to 25-30 years on average due to the thermal modification process, making the wood naturally rot- and pest-resistant. The lifespan can vary based on the quality of the wood, the treatment applied, and the maintenance provided.
What is the cambia thermal process?
Cambia wood is Tulipwood that has undertaken thermal modification to make it more durable and resistant to rot and pests. This process involves heating the wood in a controlled atmosphere, which causes a molecular transformation, resulting in a deep chocolate-brown colour miming exotic woods. The thermal modification process also eliminates nutrients that may attract destructive pests or fungi, making Cambia wood naturally resistant to rot and pests without additional treatment.
Are the slats sustainably sourced?
Yes, our tulipwood slats are sustainably sourced. The timber is obtained from forests that are certified by internationally recognised independent organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
