40 minutes from Chilaw straight down the coastal road. Kiln drying, VPI treatment, and ISPM 15 heat treatment. IPPC registered. Est. 1955.
Located at 1088, Colombo Road, Daluwakotuwa, Kochchikade — directly on the Colombo–Chilaw main road. If you are coming from Chilaw, Marawila, Wennappuwa, Nattandiya, or Dankotuwa, we are a straight run south with no detours. Drop timber on the way to Colombo and collect it treated on the way back.
Precision drying to 12–15% MC
Air-drying timber near the coast rarely gets below 20% moisture content — the sea air simply will not allow it. Our automated kilns bring timber from Chilaw and Puttalam district down to a verified 12–15% MC regardless of the weather, so furniture, doors, and fittings made from it stay stable in service.
Full-core Boron Borax protection
Coastal humidity keeps fungal decay active year-round, and termite pressure across Puttalam district is among the highest on the island. Our VPI process drives 5% Boron Borax preservative to the core of the timber at 10 bar (145 PSI) — protection that survives cutting and machining, backed by a 10-year warranty against pest contamination.
IPPC registered export compliance
Exporters in the coconut triangle shipping desiccated coconut, produce, and seafood need ISPM 15 certified wooden packaging to clear destination ports. We are IPPC registered with the National Plant Quarantine Service and issue the IPPC mark and treatment certificate on every certified batch.
Our facility is at 1088, Colombo Road, Daluwakotuwa, Kochchikade — about 40 minutes south of Chilaw straight down the coastal main road, passing through Marawila and Wennappuwa. From Puttalam town it is roughly 90 minutes on the same road.
Yes — and being in the heart of the coconut triangle, we treat a lot of it. Coconut timber must be treated promptly after sawing as it is highly susceptible to fungal staining and borer attack. Kiln drying plus VPI is the standard specification for structural coconut timber.
Coastal relative humidity in the Chilaw–Puttalam belt stays high year-round, which puts a floor under air-dried moisture content of around 18–22%. Timber at that MC will shrink and move once it is installed indoors. Kiln drying is the only reliable way to reach the 12–15% MC that interior joinery and furniture require.
