Iroko for joinery in Cyprus

Iroko is a durable tropical hardwood that copes well outdoors, making it a popular choice for exterior doors, windows and pergolas.

Iroko has natural oils that help it resist moisture and decay. Its golden-brown colour darkens over time. In Cyprus it is used for front doors, garden doors, windows and outdoor structures where durability matters. It should be finished with suitable exterior oils or microporous coatings and maintained regularly in strong sun.

Pros

  • Naturally durable outdoors
  • Resistant to moisture
  • Stable and strong
  • Good value for an exterior hardwood

Cons

  • Needs regular finish maintenance in strong sun
  • Dust can irritate during machining
  • Colour varies between boards
