✨ Since we introduced Heimu to WA almost 12 months ago, it's become one of the most talked about timbers in our range, and for good reason.

Firstly, it's thermally modified which changes the timber's cell structure rather than just protecting the surface. The result is Class 1 above-ground durability, serious resistance to swelling, shrinking and warping. It also features a striking, wavy, interlocking grain you won't find in any other species.

Secondly, you can leave Heimu to weather gracefully into a soft, sophisticated grey or add an oil finish to create a deep bold, near-black statement piece.

Either way, it holds its shape and looks and can be used for everything from decking to cladding, stairs to outdoor furniture.

🌳 What is Heimu?
• Merbau, thermally modified at 200°C+
• The heat treatment changes the timber's cell structure right through

📊 The numbers behind it
• Density: 795kg/m³
• Class 1 above-ground durability
• Naturally termite resistant
• MOR 140.5 MPa / MOE 18,318 MPa - serious structural strength
• Certified 100% FSC® - C008096
• Very low in-service movement (minimal swelling, shrinking or warping)

🎨 The look
• Natural finish: weathers gracefully to a soft, sophisticated grey
• Oiled finish: deepens into a bold, near-black statement piece

🛠️ Where it's being used
• Decking
• Cladding
• Screening
• Stairs & handrails
• Outdoor furniture
• Play equipment

Choosing the right timber for high-traffic staircases isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s also about long-term performance.👣

Custom stair specialists like Aussie Stairs rely on premium hardwood stair treads to deliver staircases that perform year-in-year-out under constant foot traffic.

Timbers such as Glacial Oak, Australian Oak, Merbau and American White Oak are commonly specified depending on traffic levels, staircase design and the desired finish. 💎

Here’s what to expect when you pair quality timber stair treads with expert staircase construction:
✅ Surface wear is reduced over time
✅ Stairs remain stable and durable
✅ High-traffic areas perform better long term
✅ The staircase becomes a true architectural feature

Whether it’s a modern floating staircase or a classic internal stair, the right timber makes all the difference. 🪜
