Ipe Wood

It is a dense and durable wood with a Janka hardness rating of 3684, making it one of the hardest and most durable woods available. Ipe has a fine-to-medium texture and a straight to irregular grain, with a rich dark brown color that darkens over time.

One of the most notable features of Ipe is its resistance to decay, rot, and insects. It is also naturally fire-resistant, making it an excellent choice for outdoor projects such as decks, boardwalks, and outdoor furniture. 

Ipe is so much more, as it is the best species from these extraordinary hardwoods. It is low maintenance, resistant to seawater, does not heat up in the sun, does not scratch or splinter, and can last for at least 75 years in perfect condition. 

Cumaru Wood

Cumaru, also known as Brazilian Teak, is another popular hardwood from South America. It is a dense and durable deck with a Janka hardness rating of 3540, making it one of the hardest woods available. Cumaru has a fine-to-medium texture and a straight to interlocked grain, with a rich golden-brown color varying from light to dark.

Cumaru is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insects like Ipe. It also repeals water, is fire-resistant, and has a high coefficient of friction too. Its similarity with Ipe makes it the best second choice from these bestsellers. 

Garapa Wood

Garapa, also known as Brazilian Oak, is a lighter-colored hardwood from South America. It has a Janka hardness rating of 1210, a medium-to-coarse texture, and a straight to interlocked grain, a light yellow to golden-brown color that darkens over time.

The Garapa deck has a flexural strength of 12,900 psi. This means that it spans greater distances with minimal deflection. With less deflection, deck boards gain more stability. 

While Garapa is not as hard as Ipe or Cumaru, it is still a durable and strong wood naturally resistant to decay and insects. Its lighter color and relatively soft texture make it a popular choice for decks, outdoor furniture, and siding.

Jatoba Wood

Jatoba, also known as Brazilian Cherry, is a dense and durable wood with a Janka hardness rating of 2350, making it an excellent option for high-traffic areas. It has a medium-to-coarse texture and a straight to interlocked grain, with a rich reddish-brown color that darkens over time.

This is also naturally resistant to decay and insects, making it an excellent choice for outdoor projects such as decks and siding. Its natural beauty is one of its charms. The intense cherry color of it makes it stand out from the crowd, providing an elegant and sophisticated style.

Tigerwood

Tigerwood, also known as South American zebrawood, is from a tropical tree native primarily to the east coast of Brazil. The unique name “tigerwood” is due to its beautiful contrasting grain pattern and bold stripes, which resemble those of a tiger.

It is one of the strongest, most durable, and densest hardwoods and has a natural sheen. As a result, the cut of it gives it a metallic and oily appearance, considered one of its most attractive features.

Tigerwood is often used for interior floors, musical instruments, and fine furniture. Its durability and water-repellent properties make it perfect for outdoor use, including deck boards, blinds, and boats.

To summarize, the Platinum Wood Premium Collection from Brazilian Lumber is made up of hardwood royalty. Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa, Jatoba, and Tigerwood are the best species for any project you have in mind. Their durability, resistance to water, insect damage, rot, decay, and mildew make them the proper choices for outdoor construction. Not only that but their amazing colors, long life span, and their low maintenance feature make them the perfect choice for building a paradise.
