Kebony
Kebony is a modified wood product made for exterior projects that need natural woodbeauty, strong durability, and a lower-maintenance alternative to many traditional outdoor lumber options. At Mason’s Mill, we supply Kebony decking, cladding, related hardware, and samples for architects, builders, remodelers, designers, and homeowners planning high-quality exterior projects.
Why choose Kebony for exterior wood projects?
Kebony gives exterior projects the warmth of natural wood without relying on tropical hardwoods. The product starts with sustainably sourced wood and is modified with a bio-based liquid that becomes permanently bonded inside the wood fibers, creating a stable, hard,and durable material. Kebony states that the result is suitable for exterior applications where durability, environmental credentials, and low maintenance matter.
Kebony is often considered for projects where the design calls for real wood, clean lines, and long service life. It can be used for decking, cladding, flooring, roofing, windows, doors, furniture, and design objects, according to Kebony’s FAQ documentation.

Kebony Technology
Kebony uses a patented wood modification process that combines bio-based liquid infusion with heat. The process permanently thickens the cell walls of the wood, which improves stability, hardness, and durability compared with the original wood species.
This is different from standard heat-treated timber. Kebony describes its process as bio-based liquid infusion plus heat, while heat-treated timber relies on high temperature alone. Kebony says the modification changes the wood’s cell walls, while heat treatment does not alter the cell structure in the same way.
This technology helps Kebony perform more like a premium exterior wood while using more sustainable source material. For builders and architects, that means a natural wood option for projects where tropical hardwoods may not be the preferred specification.

Kebony does not require special maintenance beyond normal cleaning, but it can be oiled, stained, or painted to reduce the graying effect or change the color. If left unfinished outdoors, Kebony naturally develops a silver-grey patina over time.
Kebony can typically be cleaned with water and a brush. For mold or algae, use water mixed with ordinary household cleaning agents or detergents suitable for exterior use, then rinse with clean water.
