Despite claims of most, - if not all -, other companies that Merbau and Bangkirai is 100% termite resistant IT IS NOT, since in most cases a mix of sap wood and heartwood is used.Only the use of sole heartwood gives full protection. technical data sheet from the Australian timber base sheds some light on the termite resistance of Merbau and can be found at http://www.timber.net.au/?option=com_species&name=Merbau&Itemid=441 This article clearly indicates that only Merbau heartwood is termite resistant.
