Actually Belian is harder & heavier than Balau. Balau about 850kg/m3 vs Belian about 1000kg/m3.
Due to the excellent resistance to bacterial, fungal, insect and marine borer attack; Belian hard to get. Cannot exported outside Msia or outside Sarawak. Still can import from Sabah for local use.
Belian got service life of up to 100 years in direct soil contact like kampung house and more than 20 years for marine work like bridge or floating house.
It's the best wood u can find in Msia.
yes, belian wood is damn durable, but it is the most expensive one, it has been pretty difficult to get it already, it was being used heavily 40 years ago, my grandfather house is built by using belian wood, the house is already more than 60 years old and the wood still stay strong! this wood is so heavy that it will sink in the water!Due to the excellent resistance to bacterial, fungal, insect and marine borer attack; Belian hard to get.
