Moisture-resistant woods are generally selected from species that have high density, high natural oil content and are resistant to decay. Here are some types of wood with moisture-resistant properties:
1. Teak: Teak wood has a high natural oil content and is resistant to water. Due to these features, it is especially preferred in shipbuilding and outdoor furniture.
2. Iroko: Iroko wood is also a durable and water-resistant species. This feature makes it popular for use in outdoor applications and shipbuilding.
3. Redwood: Redwood is known for its resistance to water. Due to this feature, it is frequently preferred in outdoor building materials, especially terrace and deck materials.
4. Cedar: Cedar species such as Cedrella and Western Red Cedar are resistant to water, although they are light. Due to these features, they are preferred in exterior cladding and furniture making.
5. Mahogany (Mahogany): Mahogany is a species that grows in hot climates and is resistant to water. For this reason, it is preferred in outdoor furniture, door and window frames.
6. Cypress: Cypress wood resists decay and insect damage. Therefore, it is used in outdoor applications and wooden fences.
7. Accoya: Accoya is a type of wood obtained by processing various softwood species. Passed through a high-tech processing process, Accoya resists rot, insects and moisture change.
Although this type of wood is resistant to moisture, it is important to use it in accordance with regular maintenance and correct application conditions for the long life of wooden products.
