Cumaru Brazilian Hardwood Decking
Why buy Cumaru Decking? Cumaru is a
long lasting deck product that is beautiful. It is similar in
hardness to ipe which is one of the worlds hardest.
Cumaru deck, sometimes called Brazilian Teak decking
is very hard, almost 3x harder than oak. It is hard even compared to other Hardwoods. Ipe is the
only Brazilian Hard wood that is harder than a Cumaru
 deck. Cumaru
is great for island use. It resists weather, insects, mold and
most anything that mother nature can throw at it. Cumaru is
naturally resistant to bugs as its sap is harvested for Coumadin,
the blood thinner and rat poison. So in addition to being hard
it is lethal to the few bugs that try to eat it.
