Wenge is a dramatic dark timber look - very dark brown to near-black. On woodgrain aluminium ceiling and soffit linings, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Wenge timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.
Overhead, this finish lines eaves, alfresco ceilings and soffits - exactly where natural timber weathers, sags and peels first - so the grain brings warmth to the space underneath while staying flat and sound in the weather.
The darkest in the range. Wenge delivers a dramatic, almost-black timber look for high-contrast contemporary architecture. As ceiling & soffit linings, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Wenge look on a project that has to last.
Where Wenge works best as ceilings
The Wenge finish suits high-contrast contemporary designs. As ceilings specifically, it is well placed on:
- Eaves and external soffit linings
- Alfresco and patio ceilings
- Entry and portico ceilings
- Carport and garage ceilings
- Commercial canopy soffits
- Feature interior ceilings
