\nSapele is one of the most popular species of tropical timber, known for its close relationship to Mahogany. It is distinguished by its deep reddish-brown color and characteristic parallel grain patterns, offering a sense of luxury and exceptional stability. It is the ideal solution for constructions that require high mechanical strength and an elegant finish.<\/p>\n
Technical Characteristics & Mechanical Properties
\nSapele excels in hardness and durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty constructions:
\nAverage Weight: 690 kg\/m\u00b3
\nBending Strength: 102 MPa
\nCrushing Strength: 62 MPa
\nStability & Shrinkage: It features an excellent T\/R ratio of 1.4 and Radial shrinkage of 5.0%. Its volumetric shrinkage amounts to 4.7%, offering remarkable stability for tropical wood.<\/p>\n
Uses & Applications
\nThe natural durability of Sapele makes it a versatile tool for the professional:
\nArchitectural Applications: Ideal for cladding and constructions in both interior and exterior spaces.
\nFurniture & Joinery: Widely used in the manufacture of quality furniture, as well as high-specification doors and windows.
\nOutdoor Furniture: Its natural resistance makes it a top choice for garden furniture, holiday homes, and commercial equipment (hospitality, hotels).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21667,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[169],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21666","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-tropikh","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/21666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=21666"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=21666"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stefanidiswood.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=21666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
