RHINO WOOD DECKING AND SIDING

Rhino Wood
A Natural, Durable Wood Solution
with a Wide Variety of Applications

Rhino Wood is created through a two-stage patented process of converting sustainably grown South African Pine into a hardwood equivalent. The thermal modification and pressure impregnation processes result in a product that is 60% stronger than its original state. Rhino Wood is 40% harder than Oak and has a Class 1 Durability rating, which puts Rhino Wood in the same class as Ipe, Cumaru, and Batu.

25 Year Warranty

Rhino Wood is resistant to water, insects and decay. It matches other tropical hardwoods with a 25 year warranty. The pores of Rhino Wood block all moisture, which prevents the wood from decaying and rotting. This allows for a longer wood life cycle. A low maintenance timber, Rhino Wood does not need to be sanded or finished once installed, but can be finished to maintain its natural color. Rhino Wood will fade to gray over time with UV exposure.

Rhino Wood is manufactured in South Africa by Rhino Modified Wood based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nova USA Wood Products is proud to be the exclusive representative of Rhino Wood products to the North American marketplace.

A proven product with a ten year track record under the harsh weather conditions of South Africa, Rhino Wood easily stands the test of time.

As shown above, Rhino Wood ages gracefully to a beautiful silver patina. These photos show our 5/4x6 deck boards after five years with full exposure to the weather.
