Korina, also known as Frake, is a secondary species not typically used for exterior applications as it does not meet the durability requirements.

Korina is always sourced from sustainably managed forests as a secondary species, and will be fully OLB, Origine et Légalité des Bois, certified. FSC, Forest Stewardship Council, certification may be available for larger projects when required.

Nova is the leading importer of Batu Decking, also known as Red Balau Hardwood. With over 30 years of experience in sourcing the finest Batu hardwood decking in the world, our staff is here to assist in your search for the perfect combination of quality and value.
Nova Batu hardwood decking closely resembles the rich classic look of Mahogany. Heartwood from Batu or Red Balau hardwood ranges from a medium red to a deep red / brown with purple tinges and often has resin canals with white contents in concentric lines on end surfaces which produce a warm and visually striking effect. The texture is moderately fine and grain is typically interlocked.
