Originating from several years of research conducted in Norway, Kebony® has developed a patented wood modification process that gives Nordic wood species the durability properties once reserved for tropical woods, without replicating their environmental impact. This innovation places Kebony among the global benchmarks for high-end technical wood, recognized by the most demanding architects and specifiers across five continents.
Kebony has developed a patented technology that sustainably improves wood properties using bio-liquids derived from renewable raw materials.
Since its inception, Kebony has worked to reduce the use of exotic woods by offering a sustainable and high-performance alternative for architecture and outdoor landscaping.
Kebony solutions are used in thousands of residential, commercial, and public projects worldwide, from facades to seaside promenades.
Species
Its flagship product, Kebony Clear, embodies this requirement: a strong aesthetic, a silver-grey patina that develops naturally and uniformly over the seasons, and technical performances that last over time. It is precisely for these qualities that we offer it at Grad® as a premium solution for the most ambitious terraces and facades.
Beyond performance, Kebony® shares with Grad® the same conviction: architectural demandingness and environmental responsibility are not opposed — they reinforce each other. Its dimensional stability and perfect compatibility with our invisible fastening systems make it a natural choice for all projects where quality cannot be compromised.
Thanks to its patented wood modification process, Kebony Clear achieves durability comparable to the best tropical species, with excellent resistance to weathering and biological degradation.
Kebony treatment reduces dimensional variations in wood and improves its stability, limiting deformations and ensuring a long-lasting finish.
Its warm brown hue gradually evolves into an elegant, homogeneous silver-grey patina, particularly appreciated for contemporary architectural projects.
