Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Stains on Garapa decking boards are best removed with warm water and a soft brush. For heavier soiling, special wood cleaners for hardwood can be used. Harsh chemicals or high-pressure cleaners should be avoided, as they can damage the surface. Regular cleaning protects the boards and preserves their natural color.

Both Cumaru and Garapa decking are high-quality hardwoods, but differ in color and properties. Garapa has a lighter, golden-yellow to honey-colored tone, while Cumaru has a more reddish-brown appearance. Cumaru is slightly harder and denser, but Garapa offers a more uniform structure and a light, friendly appearance. Both woods are extremely durable and weather-resistant.

To preserve the natural color of Garapa decking boards over the long term, we recommend regular treatment with pigmented decking oil for hardwood. This protects the wood from UV rays and delays the formation of a silver-gray patina. In addition, regular cleaning with water and a brush significantly extends the lifespan of the boards.

Garapa decking boards have excellent natural durability and are generally classified as resistance class 1-2. This means they are extremely resistant to weathering, fungal attack, and insects. With proper care, Garapa decking boards can last for several decades while remaining stable and visually appealing.
