Why Hardwood

The case for real wood.

01

Decades, not seasons

Ipe and Cumaru run 40 to 75 years untreated. The Coney Island boardwalk proved it in public — hardwood outlasts every composite warranty on the shelf.

02

Nothing to eat

Density this high leaves rot, termites, and marine borers nowhere to start. No pressure treatment, no chemicals — the wood is the defense.

03

Class A fire rating

Ipe carries the same fire rating as concrete and steel. It goes where codes are strict and synthetics disqualify themselves.

04

Real wood, real grain

No two boards alike. Oil it to keep the espresso brown or let it silver into driftwood grey — structurally identical either way.

05

Certified sourcing

FSC-certified tracts under our Green+ program — selective harvest, replanted canopy, full chain of custody on every container.

06

Cheapest per year of life

Premium upfront, then decades of service with a wash and an optional oil. Divide cost by lifespan and hardwood wins the spreadsheet.

Hardwood FAQ

Before you order.

The questions every hardwood buyer asks, answered straight. Anything else — the chat bubble or your nearest branch settles it in one call.

Ipe if budget allows — it is the benchmark. Cumaru gets you close for less, Garapa is the value pick with a golden tone, and Tigerwood brings the dramatic figure. Two minutes with a branch and you'll have a match.

A wash once a year. Add an annual oil only if you want to keep the brown color — skip it and the deck silvers to a driftwood grey with zero structural difference.

Yes. Ipe and Cumaru are the marine-grade standard for docks, boardwalks, and seawall caps. Salt air and spray don't touch them — that's why coastal Florida specs them.

Profile and length availability changes by branch. Call the nearest team with the takeoff to confirm current dimensions and custom-milling options.
