Kiln Seasoned

8%–12% Moisture Stability

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

Strong, Stable, and Architecturally Trusted Hardwood

Gurjan wood (Dipterocarpus species) has become an essential material for contractors and furniture manufacturers due to the perfect balance it offers in structural strength, uniform fiber density, and excellent workability.

Recognized by its rich reddish-brown tone and fine interlocked grain, Gurjan holds tightly under heavy mechanical loads. It is especially resistant to stress and remains dimensionally stable under the UAE’s climatic shifts, making it the industry benchmark for heavy-duty furniture framing and high-density plywood cores.

High compressive and bending strength resisting heavy structural stress
Supreme nail and screw-holding power preventing joint loosening
Naturally resistant to moisture absorption and insect decay
Ideal core veneer for manufacturing 100% boiling-water-proof marine plywood

FEATURES & PERFORMANCE

Why Gurjan Wood Stands Apart in Dubai

Every characteristic of Gurjan wood delivers real-world performance advantages across demanding furniture factories and construction jobsites.

750kg/m³Air-Dried Wood Density

HighCompressive Strength Rating

8-12%Kiln-Dried Moisture Level

100%Legal Certified Sourcing

Exceptional Compressive Strength

Features immense compressive and load-bearing tolerance, making it the superior material choice for structural framework and long-span joinery.

Tenacious Screw Holding Power

The dense interlocked fiber matrix grips screws and heavy fasteners tenaciously, completely eliminating joint wobble in commercial furniture.

Natural Decay & Borer Resistance

Moderate natural resin content shields the timber from atmospheric moisture absorption, preventing wood rot in coastal installations.

What is Gurjan wood and why is it so prized in plywood manufacturing?

Gurjan (Dipterocarpus) is a dense Southeast Asian hardwood with uniform grain and high compressive strength. It is prized in plywood because Gurjan veneers create extremely solid, void-free cores that do not warp or delaminate under moisture.

How does Gurjan wood perform in Dubai’s extreme climate?

When properly kiln-dried to 8%–12%, Gurjan wood is dimensionally stable and resists warping or splitting in air-conditioned interiors as well as humid coastal environments.

Is Gurjan wood suitable for solid furniture making and joinery?

Yes. Due to its excellent screw-holding capacity and high bending strength, Gurjan is widely specified for heavy furniture frameworks, door jambs, and luxury joinery carcasses.

How does Gurjan compare to Red Meranti and Teak?

Gurjan is denser and stronger than Red Meranti, making it more suitable for structural frameworks. While Burma Teak has higher natural oil content for marine decking, Gurjan provides supreme mechanical load capacity at an economical commercial price.

What sizes of Gurjan timber are stocked by Titan Core in the UAE?

We stock thicknesses from 1″ (25mm) up to 3″ (75mm) and widths up to 10″ (250mm) in lengths up to 18 ft, with custom dimension resawing available at our Dubai yard.
