Purpleheart

Product Description

Native to Central and South America, Purpleheart is best known for its beautiful heartwood.  When cut, Purpleheart turns from a pale brown to a vibrant purple - often a surprise to people who first witness this specie.  

Exposure to sunlight turns it into a rich brown, eventually settling into a fantastic driftwood silver-grey appearance.  

Purpleheart has much to boast about, it is an incredibly dense, durable and hardwearing timber. It has become one of Hermpac’s most versatile timbers, covering a range of internal and external applications.
