Massaranduba wood is renowned because of its ability to last a very long time (decades), even in very extreme weather conditions. Hardness and density plays a significant role in this. It’s natural resistance to decay/rot and water penetration also contributes to its longevity. These woods evolved from the forests which experience up to 400 inches of rain every year. This wood is naturally resistant to mold, decay, rot and water penetration due to its evolutionary response to this heavy rainfall.
Massaranduba wood is naturally resistant to insects. Domestic timber is chemically treated to deter wood boring insects. But, this wood evolved in forests that had insects that were far more wood-boring proficient than their counterparts in North America. In their natural habitat, very few insects can infiltrate their tough wood fibers. And, the domestic insects of the U.S. don’t compare.
You’ll want to reapply oil finishing and ultraviolet inhibitors to maintain Massaranduba wood’s stunning beautiful color. Because it’s chemical-free, you can use this wood adjacent to water without contaminating the water. Because of its ideal features, the wood is highly recommended for many exterior wood projects.
