Origin Peru Cumaru

The hardest type of wood

Cumaru is one of the world's most durable woods. The high density brings with it a pronounced twisted grain. In interlocked grain, some wood fibers grow in the opposite direction to the main direction of growth. These are not completely processed by the planing machine and can form rough spots on the floorboard. After the wood has gotten wet for the first time, the rough areas can be easily sanded down. In South America, Cumaru has been used for bridge construction for decades because of its excellent resistance and load-bearing capacity. Cumaru is also becoming increasingly popular in Europe. With their red-brown pattern, the Cumaru decking boards unfold their unique tropical wood aesthetics. at Betterwood Find the best quality Cumaru decking in 90 mm, 120 mm and 145 mm Broad. We also offer matching Cumaru substructure

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Cumaru wood originates from South America and is one of the hardest and most durable hardwoods in the world. It is particularly popular for Cumaru decking due to its high density, strength, and natural resilience. The wood impresses with its warm, reddish-brown color and excellent resistance to weathering, fungi, and pests.

For the care of Cumaru decking, we recommend using a special decking oil for hardwood. Ideally, it should be pigmented to preserve the natural color of Cumaru and delay the formation of a silver-gray patina. It's important that the oil penetrates deep into the dense wood and protects it from UV radiation and moisture.

Cumaru decking boards have a very long lifespan. With proper installation and regular maintenance, they can last 30 to 40 years or even longer. Due to its high natural resistance rating, Cumaru is significantly more durable than many other wood species.

Cumaru decking boards are characterized by an exceptionally high density of approximately 1.050 kg/m³. This makes them extremely resistant to mechanical stress and environmental influences. At the same time, this density ensures the high hardness and stability that make Cumaru so popular for decking worldwide.

Both Cumaru and Ipe are among the best hardwoods for decking. Cumaru decking is generally somewhat less expensive than Ipe, yet offers comparable hardness, density, and durability. Visually, Cumaru stands out with its warm reddish-brown tones, while Ipe has a dark brown to olive color. In terms of durability and resilience, both woods are at the highest level, making Cumaru an excellent alternative to Ipe.
