Is acacia wood water-resistant?

Acacia wood naturally offers better water resistance than most types of wood, thanks to its high density and intrinsic properties. This species has good dimensional stability when exposed to humidity changes.

Water resistance characteristics of acacia:

  • Natural density limits water absorption
  • Tight grain structure helps resist moisture
  • Good dimensional stability for indoor use
  • Heartwood is naturally durable

For indoor use, acacia is well suited for moderately humid areas. However, like any solid wood, it requires a proper finish in very humid zones such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Acacia remains an excellent choice for cabinetry and interior design due to its outstanding quality/resistance ratio.
