STABILIZED BOG OAK

High-grade stabilized Bog Oak material

Raffir Wood is our quality brand of stabilized wood. It is also the core product of our company. We have more than 15 years of experience developing and producing this. It is a continuous cycle. Hence, we always strive to make it better, stronger and more beautiful as seen in bog oak material.

What is stabilized wood?

Raffir Wood is naturally beautiful wood that is filled to the core with a plastic resin. We call this process “stabilization”. The final material has the unique grain patterns of the untreated wood. Meanwhile, it obtains the mechanical advantages from the strong resin. In other words, it unites the best parts from both worlds. Stabilization with good quality ensures that the wood absorbs very little water. Therefore, it is less prone to warping and cracking. It is also heavier, harder and more durable than normal wood. Finally, it polishes well and has a deeper grain structure.

Normally, wood stabilization happens with a vacuum process. We use a combination of vacuum and very high pressure to achieve the best result. Furthermore, we have developed our own acrylic resin formula. Because of this, Raffir Wood has high durability and can obtain a high gloss finish after polishing. It absorbs very little water, and will have very low swelling and shrinkage at different humidity. Therefore, it will not warp and crack as easily as untreated wood. The material has a smooth surface without porosities and needs no other finishing than fine sanding and polishing.

Variation and properties

There are many wood materials to choose from. We have selected those we find best suited for the process. This is both in terms of beauty and properties. Our standard selection covers: poplar burl, flamed poplar, spalted beech and platan. We also stabilize limited series of woods, such as bog oak material and curly dark chestnut.
