Yellow Balau 10 x 50mm PAR (Planned All Round) Infill / Fencing. Sourced as an infill component for our handrail system to sit in the top groove of the bottom rail or the underside of the handrail. It can also be used as a cost effective modern slatted fencing.

This product offers excellent long term durability and cost effective price

We recommend customers order +10% over and above requirements to allow for waste on your project. We cannot supply every length defect free.

Certification
SLVK certified. The SVLK assurance scheme is a mandatory system that requires all timber from state-owned and private forests in Indonesia to obtain verification of legality – as a guarantee that the timber originates from legal, sustainably-managed sources.

Grading
Unlike other species, Yellow Balau has no specific ‘grading rule book’ and generally is sourced on the trust basis that certain mills produce a superior production selecting out lower grade boards for other uses. We use our considerable experience to source from the best shippers and to the specification that we believe is the best in the UK.

Appearance
Generally a Golden brown colour with occasional lighter and darker colour boards. Lengths are hardwearing and dense. Pieces are generally supplied to full lengths or a fraction over the length. Occasional lengths will have slight areas of missed machining and possible the odd ‘pin worm’ holes these are again allowed within this specie and should be accounted for in the recommended waste to be factored in.

Lengths
The lengths we have available are listed in the drop-down box to the right and can be selected and ordered online. 

Machine tolerances
Yellow Balau is machined at source in Indonesia and due to the drying & shipping process, the boards can vary in width when they reach their final destination.

Moisture Content
Yellow Balau is generally supplied as ‘Air Dried’ (approx. 18%) but in many cases and to speed the drying phase up we source Kiln Dried Stock. This Kiln Drying process is not like the typical sub 10% that is required for timber generally used internally but rather is kiln dried to 10-18%. This is just enough to get rid of the free water without banishing the bound water and hardening the cell walls of the wood and therefore making it more brittle and resistant to change.

Specie
Sourced from Indonesia, Yellow Balau is a very hardwearing durable timber which is classed at the high D50 strength rating. Density is high with an average weight of 980 kilos per m3. Decay resistance is rated as high and longevity is rated as 25 years +.
