Tigerwood Decking and decking Specifications
Tigerwood Decking (Muiracatiara) is
bronze-colored, yellow-brown with irregular dark lines which is how
the name Tigerwood was derived. Tigerwood decking is extremely hard,
heavy, close-grained, and resists water well, making it a valuable
hardwood. Increasing that value is the fact that it can come in
large sizes. Tigerwood lumber has an attractive appearance and easy
to shape with tools.
Tigerwood Decking is naturally resistant
to rot, decay and insect attack. Our Tigerwood decking is
responsibly harvested from managed forest to provide a truly
renewable resource. Unlike composite, Tigerwood is naturally
biodegradable and does not clog landfills. Tigerwood Decking
is comparable to Ipe and is available at a fraction of the
cost. We ship our Tigerwood decking products direct to your
home or job site.
