Before you specify timber in a tropical climate, ask one simple question: can it breathe?
Many timber problems are not caused by the species itself.
They are caused by trapped moisture.
Without proper airflow and drainage, heat and moisture can build up around timber components, increasing the risk of mould, premature ageing, and reduced long-term pertormance.
This is especially important in humid environments such as villas, resorts, catés, decking areas, and semi-outdoor spaces.
Use the simple project check in this carousel before your next timber project.
Save this for future reference and share it with your architect, contractor, or project team.
