For the best part of a year, we have been telling you about the many sustainable benefits of choosing homegrown, naturally-modified wood as opposed to endangered hardwoods.

And we know that Capetonians, specifically, have been a tad frustrated because the company that produces the future-conscious real wood does not have a local office.

Well, Rhino Wood realised this and, to get their name in the Cape Town wood game, opened a regional Cape Town office that gives them capacity to service the entire Western Cape region.

Representing the company is local Shane Smith. Andrew Prior, Rhino Wood Sales and Marketing Director, is looking forward to the future:

“We’ve always viewed the Western Cape as an important part of our business and wanted an on the ground Rhino Wood presence in Cape Town. We are looking forward to developing personal, long-term relationships with new and existing customers and exploring a range of new and diverse opportunities for our eco-friendly, naturally modified timber.

Cape Town and surrounding areas are progressively leading the way with green developments, be they domestic, commercial or industrial; we’re hoping to make Rhino Wood an integral part of that green movement!”

Lekker – and welcome!

Now is the time to act if you are considering building a wooden structure. Let me explain why.

100% natural, locally sourced, sustainable and free from harmful chemicals, modified Rhino Wood is suited to outdoor and indoor applications including decking, jetties, docks, cladding, walk and stairways and bigger timber constructions where laminated beams are required. It also offers enhanced durability, dimensional stability, longevity and water, rot and insect resistance and left to nature gradually weathers into a beautiful grey patina.

Rhino Wood is available in various sizes and finishes to suit different applications and requirements; custom sizes are available on request.

Below are a few examples of their work:

Commenting on the expansion, Scott Sargent, Rhino Wood’s Technical Director made sure to highlight Rhino Wood’s ability to provide a faster and more accessible service to a range of local clients:

“Our dedicated Cape Town presence will make it so much easier for us to develop the best possible sustainable timber solutions in partnership with architects, property developers and individual consumers.”
