Cumaru Is One Of The Best Tropical Hardwoods In The World
Cumaru Tropical Hardwood (pronounced Ku-mah-rue), also known as Brazilian Teak, is one of the densest woods available for outdoor construction, second only to Ipe. It is very dense, which is why it is ideal for exterior use, as it is mildew and decay-resistant.
In addition, this tropical hardwood has often been used for decking, flooring, railroad ties, and other purposes. Just like Ipe, Cumaru has an A1 fire rating, does not scratch or splinter easily, does not become hot in the sun, and has a high friction coefficient. This makes it perfect for outdoor and seaside construction.
