Why does Meranti come in so many colours?
There are two types of Meranti, Dark Red and Light Red. Meranti consists of 20 different specie meaning the span of colours is quite varied so you will see many shades from light-pink to dark-red. Porta manufacturers and moulds Light Red Meranti, which is less dense than Dark Red making it ideally suited to mouldings and internal joinery applications where decorative profiles are needed.
