The wood processing industry in Cuba is currently navigating a transition from heavy reliance on solid hardwoods to the integration of efficient veneer mdf board. Due to the high humidity and saline air of the Caribbean, there is a critical demand for materials that resist warping and moisture infiltration while maintaining structural integrity.
In the industrial sector, infrastructure projects in Havana and Matanzas are increasingly incorporating carbon steel grating to replace traditional concrete drainage systems, aiming for better longevity and easier maintenance in heavy-traffic urban areas.
The aesthetic trend is shifting toward a "Rustic-Modern" fusion, where barn board veneer is utilized to evoke colonial charm in new hospitality developments, providing a sustainable alternative to reclaimed timber which is scarce in local supply chains.
