Geronggang
Wood type
Geronggang, scientifically known as Cratoxylum arborescens, is a species of wood native to Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia. With a natural light brown to pinkish brown colour, Geronggang is distinguished by an even grain and a fine to moderately coarse texture. Its visual appeal makes the wood suitable for a wide range of applications.
Geronggang is known for its durability and natural resistance to insects and fungi, making it a suitable choice for outdoor applications such as terraces and cladding. The wood is generally strong and hard, making it used in construction projects, furniture making and general carpentry. The combination of aesthetic characteristics and functional properties makes Geronggang a valuable choice for various timber applications, taking its place in various construction and design projects in the Southeast Asia region.
