A versatile hardwood (Idigbo) is used throughout our hardwood conservatories and sourced from sustainable plantations in West Africa. Selected sections are used for a combination of strength, durability, machining flexibility and an ability to accept a wide range of finishes. This hardwood timber is naturally resistant to wood rot and fungal attack and the natural oils present in the timber make it resistant to moisture penetration.
- Moisture content – kiln dried to 12-14%
- Strength (Young’s Modulus is a measure of elasticity; the higher the value the greater the strength) – 9300 (for comparison Brazilian Mahogany is 8600 and softwood 7300)
- Specification conformance – Class 1 hardwood
to BS1186*
- Framework dimensions – standard depth 70mm
with 68mm wide mullion and projecting storm proof casements. Where
flush walling is specified incorporating shot-in casements (often

mullion is used
- Roof wind and snow loading – satisfies BS6399*
Using a matrix of sizes underwritten by
our structural engineer every David Salisbury roof is designed to
