of internal
and external applications. Keruing timber is low maintenance, hardwearing
and ideal for
outdoor furniture use. The wood is strong and classified as durable, making
it useful for
construction purposes. Other common uses include internal flooring,
protected framing
and boards, internal joinery and mouldings, lining, paneling and framework.
It is often
used as a cheaper alternative to oak for heavy construction, decking, vehicle
building
and sleepers, and it is also in plywood.
