The Hevea Brasiliensis is one of the more durable lumbers used in the manufacturing of today's home furnishings. As a member of the Maple family, Hevea Brasiliensis has a dense grain character that is easily controlled in the kiln drying process. Hevea Brasiliensis has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable construction materials availabe for furniture manufacturing.
As a Maple hardwood, Hevea Brasiliensis is a sap producing species. In the case of Maple, it is sap; in the case of Hevea Brasiliensis, it is latex.
There is one more important feature of Hevea Brasiliensis. After the economic life of the Rubber tree, which is generally 26-30 years, the latex yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the Hevea Brasiliensis trees and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purpose of producing furniture, Hevea Brasiliensis is used only after it completes it's latex producing cycle and dies. This wood is therefore eco-friendly in the sense that we are now using what was going as waste.
