We selectively grade our lumber for only the finest yield nature has to offer, as well as cutting exclusively even & long-lengths which always finish in our proprietary kiln-process.This commitment to excellence, sparing no expense, is testament to how firmly we believe in delivering unparalleled beauty & performance to a demanding client.
Subtle shades of cool wheat coupled with unparalleled density & tight-swooping grain, which when left to weather naturally patinas to a mellow silver.

GARAPA DECKING
Silvers with age
Extremely hard
Can be re-stained to regain original color
High density - much harder than pressure treated wood
Available in long lengths
Scratch resistant
Insect resistant
Little to no warping
Easily repairable
Has a 25+ year life span as a deck wood
Is sourced from the tropical forests of South America. Garapa wood, also known as Brazilian Ash, is a dense and naturally durable Brazilian timber. Its golden colour and fine grain make it an attractive alternate to more expensive hardwoods. Garapa is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks. It is slip and scratch resistant which allows the surface to remain smooth for many years
COMPOSITE DECKING
Loses color with age
Softer and not as stiff as Garapa
Gets extremely hot in the sun
Can support mold growth especially in a high humidity/wet area
Does not span large distances
Scratches easily
Can become “fuzzy” over time because of wear
Not easily repairable
Has a unknown lifespan as a deck material
Composite decking made from recycled materials makes it seem like an environmentally friendly product. The problem with composite decking is that all of the environmentally friendly aspects are concentrated in material sourcing. Once you factor in the high environmental impacts of the fossil fuels required to manufacture composite decking, as well as greenhouse gas emissions, the overall impact of composite decking is quite high.

POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Good markets for wood & wood products will help preserve the tropical rain forests. A thriving international market provides an economic reason to carefully manage them.
Buying these products provides the incentive to manage the forests responsibly, and prevents clear cutting to convert to cattle land. The land with trees MUST be more valuable than the land without them.
Purchasing tropical wood products from responsible suppliers contributes to saving the rain forests.
