10.09.2025. As autumn approaches, some parts of the world face harsher weather conditions. These are the moments when outdoor materials reveal their true colours.
After 12 years of exposure to Belgium’s weather, Tali (Erythrophleum ivorense, Erythrophleum suaveolens) stands as a natural performer — untreated, yet reliably meeting market expectations.
As the saying goes: when the going gets tough, the tough get going — and so it is withTali .
The owners of this private residence in Belgium followed the sound advice of experienced professionals 12 years ago, choosing Tali for their terrace.
Their decision proved right.
The outdoor deck was left in its natural state, with no additional treatment other than occasional water-based washing.
Tali ages gracefully: its brown to red hues slowly shifting into a refined silver-grey.
No cracks, no splinters — Tali nails it with poise and grace.
Children can play safely, while parents and friends gather comfortably around the barbecue.
In today’s context of tightening regulations, reduced availability of certain species and increasing demands for durability, wood professionals need species that can prove their worth.
Twelve years on, Tali still stands strong — naturally.
