Gallery Of Our Top 10 Best Hardwood And Composite Projects Of 2022

We have made a list of the projects with more likes on our Instagram this year. Enjoy it and get a closer look at what we do. 

1. 

We build commercial projects too. This stunning deck was made from the best tropical wood in the world, Ipe. This excellent hardwood, also known as Brazilian Walnut, comes from South America. Due to its longevity and density, it is widely used for high-traffic areas, such as South Point Park, in Miami Beach.

Here are some of its most outstanding characteristics:

• Long-lasting
• Slip-resistant
• It does not absorb heat
• Resistant to insects and decay
• Suitable for any exterior environment
• Low maintenance

2. 

Wondering which tropical wood is the best for places prone to getting wet? The answer is Ipe. This hardwood is naturally water-resistant and works great in wet climates. Its natural oils make them strong enough to avoid insect damage, decay, or developing harmful fungi due to water exposure.

In addition, Ipe does not get hot in the sun, which makes it barefoot-friendly. This specific feature makes it the preferred option for many resorts, such as Capella Sanya Resort, in Yingzhou Town, Banyan Tree Sanya Resort in Jiyang District, and many others from the Maldives to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

3. 

We can cut to the profile size needed for your projects, such as decking, cladding, siding, fences, sidewalks, pergolas, benches, and much more. 

Create the most beautiful scenarios by combining our remarkable tropical hardwood with the artificial ivy choices we offer from Royal Turf. That’s right; we are more than hardwoods and composite alternatives. 

4. 

We build this from scratch with our amazing composite choices, which are similar to hardwood decking. Both are materials with high quality, low maintenance, and resistance to external factors. The bonus with composite decking is that it is a cost-efficient choice, and that’s how this project turns out into this lovely paradise.

This material can withstand fading, scratches & mold. Also, it does not rot, warp, crack, or splinter. Spilled food, falling grill utensils, and damp pots are no hazards to this material. Another advantage of choosing composite decking is that there is less difference in the color of each board since they are manufactured and not a natural material. You will be able to choose colors that are not options with hardwood.

5.

Finding Ipe in many places worldwide is a strong testimony to its quality, beauty, extraordinary properties, and longevity. Appreciate its uniqueness and marvelous design on the façade of Sanya Resort in China.

You can take advantage of its gorgeous color that goes from reddish brown to a more yellowish olive brown or darker blackish brown. It can also acquire a color known as silver patina when no oil is applied to preserve its natural color. Either way, its appearance is very attractive.

You can buy Ipe from us in different and more affordable formats too. We have Ipe shorts, deck tiles made of Ipe, Rustic Ipe, and live edge slabs made of Ipe as well. 

6. 

Hardwoods’ versatility is another feature of our tropical species. Appreciate the harmony and warmth of this cladding made of tropical hardwood that blends perfectly with other materials such as marble and granite.

We build to impress, and we certify this statement with this photo.

7. 

Our Ipe lumber can transform a place into a piece of heaven. Besides all the excellent characteristics we have already mentioned, this tropical hardwood is resistant to salt water, which makes it impervious to corrosion. So if you are looking to build a paradise near the beach, Ipe is the material you must pick!

8. 

Make your backyard one of a kind with any of our tropical hardwoods. Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa, Jatoba, and Tigerwood are the best wooden species in the world. They all share almost the same characteristics and have natural oils that make them impervious to nearly anything. 

By choosing any tropical hardwoods, be sure that any project you have in mind will turn out as a spectacular piece of art.

9.

Here is another amazing project made with composite. High-performance composites retain their beauty for decades with minimal maintenance. You’ll never have to worry about sanding, staining, or painting. Just cleaning it with soap and water twice a year will be enough.

When it comes to installation costs, most people will be surprised to learn that decking is cheaper to build in the long run. While they may be a bit more expensive, this material costs less considering maintenance and durability.

10.

Talking about captivating scenarios… This decking adds life and style to this backyard. The subtlety of its color combines perfectly with the decorative items, creating an exquisite living space.
