SPECIES WE OFFER
CUMARU (Brazillian Teak) - is known expecially for its superior hardness and durability and adapts extremely well in residential or commercial applications. Its color ranges between a tan brown to a reddish brown with some boards displaying black striping. Unlike most exotic hardwoods however, Cumaru's color changes little from its original tone and gradually mutes to a uniform color over time. Cumaru naturally weathers to a beautiful, silver gray patina. To maintain this rich tone, apply a UV inhibitor like Penofin. Application of sealers is optional. The wood has excellent weathering possibilities, rated 25 years against decay and insect damage with applications having longevity of over 50 years. See pricing at left.
