Vitex
Popular long-wearing hardwood timber decking
Predominantly used in New Zealand for hardwood decking & battens, Vitex is sourced from community-based operations in the Solomon Islands. Vitex is a hardworking timber that is light in colour and weathers to a beautiful uniform grey with UV exposure.
A first-cousin to the New Zealand evergreen Pūriri (Vitex Lucens), Vitex is a durable hardwood, with proven performance in both commercial and residential exterior applications. Its consistent pale-yellow and creamy-grey colour, combined with a fine, even grain, makes it highly appealing, particularly in Vitex decking applications.
