Außenbau

Kambala oder Iroko, sowohl als Milicia excelsa als auch Milicia regia bekannt, ist ein hochgeschätztes Konstruktionsholz aus der Moraceae-Familie. Hervorragend für den Außenbau geeignet, wird es aufgrund begrenzter Verfügbarkeit in geringen Mengen in die EU importiert. Dank seiner natürlichen Dauerhaftigkeit findet Kambala Anwendung im GaLa-Bau, für Gartenmöbel, Fenster, Türen, Treppen und Parkett im Innenbereich. Die Säure-/Basenresistenz macht es begehrt für Chemieindustrie-Flüssigkeitsbehälter und Labortische. Die Vielseitigkeit erstreckt sich sogar auf den Schiffsbau.

Kambala wird oft als Iroko bezeichnet. Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie bitte unseren Lexikon Beitrag zur Holzart Iroko.
