From nature to architecture: the beauty of timber in outdoor structures

Wood is one of the oldest and most versatile building materials used worldwide for structures, buildings, bridges and other infrastructures. Recently, the interest in structural wood has increased due to its sustainability, CO absorption and lightness compared to traditional materials such as concrete and steel. Among all structural wood species, Eucalyptus stands out for its mechanical and aesthetic properties. In particular, AFRICA STYLE South African Eucalyptus grandis, whose characteristic round section is qualified for structural use (C30 profile) offers specific advantages in terms of strength, durability and aesthetics. Among its main features: rapid growth (it can reach sizes for structural use in a relatively short time compared to other species), high density (this gives the material a higher resistance than many other essences), natural resistance to biological agents (due to the high content of essential oils, Eucalyptus is less subject to attack by insects and moulds), versatility of use (it can be used in different forms as coverings, panels and structures). Applications: pergolas, canopies, fences, supports, furniture. The Eucalyptus grandis, with its round section, stands out for its high mechanical performance and durability, resulting in the perfect choice for a wide range of applications and the ideal alternative to traditional species. The combination of innovation and respect for the environment makes AFRICA STYLE South African Eucalyptus Grandis timber a winning option for the future of sustainable architecture.
