Tropical Wood Meets Italian Engineering: The Secret to a Flawless Bali Villa

The Wood: A Spectrum of Durability and Style

We don't just sell wood; we curate the right species for the right function. While everyone knows Teak and Bangkirai, a smart builder knows how to utilize our full range:

• Teak & Recycled Teak: The undisputed king of beauty and stability. Perfect for high-end furniture, flooring, and feature walls where texture is everything.

• Bangkirai (Yellow Balau): The heavy-duty shield. With its high density, it is the standard for structural posts and decking that withstands the monsoon.

• Kapur: The smart alternative. Often overlooked, Kapur is a durable hardwood with excellent resistance to rot (thanks to its natural camphor oil). It offers a beautiful, consistent grain and is a cost-effective option for structural framing and covered decking.

• Meranti: The interior master. Lightweight yet strong, Meranti is the ideal choice for window frames, doors, and intricate interior joinery where a smooth, paintable or stainable finish is required.

The "Invisible" Problem: Rust and Movement

Bali’s climate is harsh. The air is salty, and the humidity fluctuates wildly. This causes wood to expand and contract.
If you use cheap, galvanized screws (the local standard), two things happen:

1. Rust streaks appear, staining your beautiful wood.

2. Shearing: The wood moves, but the screw doesn't. The screw snaps, boards come loose, and your deck becomes dangerous.

The Solution: Rothoblaas Italian Hardware

This is where Kitaru stands apart. We are proud suppliers of Rothoblaas, the world leader in timber construction technology from the Italian Alps.

Why does Italian hardware matter in Bali?

• Invisible Luxury: We offer hidden fastening systems. Imagine a Bangkirai deck with zero visible screws. No jagged metal heads to stub your toes on, just smooth, uninterrupted wood. It’s a level of finish that screams "luxury."

• Structural Flexibility: Rothoblaas connectors are engineered to handle the movement of tropical hardwood. They allow the wood to "breathe" without snapping the fixings.

• Corrosion Resistance: Designed for aggressive environments, these high-tech coated steels withstand the salty Bali air years longer than standard hardware.
