Natural Wood Characteristics

Wallaba is a unique, high quality wood found more commonly in the Guiana Shield than in other parts of South America. The wood has a dark reddish color, is approved for marine use (including brackish water) and is amazingly durable in outdoor and ground contact situations. For these reasons Wallaba creates a great shingle for roofing and siding products, and it is also excellent for round posts, fencing, landscaping, and much more.
