Hardwoods

Cumaru, also known as "Brazilian teak", is an exotic hardwood that naturally resists rot, decay and insect attack. Cumaru is the second hardest decking wood as well. Cumaru has a 50+ year lifespan without preservatives. Cumaru has many benefits over genuine teak. Cumaru works especially well with face screws or a plug system.

Hardwood decking and products manufactured from hardwood decking are natural wood products, and as such will have natural variations in color and grain, including quarter sawn and plain sawn pieces. These variations are an accepted characteristic of these species and products, and are not considered a defect. All decking returns will be subject to a 15% restocking fee if the individual pieces are not found to be defective. Any acceptable returns must be in the exact same condition as when they were purchased.

Hardwood decking and products manufactured from hardwood decking are subject to possible movement in service including expansion and contraction. Some pieces with slight warp are possible as well. It is advised that proper installation techniques are followed to minimize the possible movement in service of these products. Mason’s Mill & Lumber is not responsible for any possible movement in service, as this is a natural characteristic of all wood.

Garapa is a stable and durable exotic hardwood from Brazil that is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attack. Garapa is naturally scratch resistant which allows the surface to remain smooth for many years. Garapa is a wood that will out-perform pine, cedar, and other softer woods.

Garapa is a more affordable exotic hardwood for high end residential and commercial projects where more expensive woods like ipe are outside of budget limitations. Garapa has a fine textured grain very similar to ipe. Garapa also has a 25 year warranty against rot and decay.

Air dried ipe decking has a higher moisture content and is best for exterior applications with a variety of weather conditions.

Mason’s Mill and Lumber will not be responsible or issue a credit for any cup, warp, twist or splitting that occurs in any custom cut Fir or Cedar boards or beams. These issues can be present in material cut from larger beams and timbers and need to be accounted for by the buyer when determining if Fir or Cedar is appropriate for the intended application.  Cedar and Fir products will typically have knots.

Kiln-dried ipe decking is ideal for exterior applications in dry climates. Its moisture content varies from 10 to 18%, putting it precisely between the moisture content levels of typical air-dried ipe decking and interior-grade ipe. In desert climates or high-altitude environments, this hybrid choice is ideal.

Another consideration is the amount of direct sunlight that beats on the wood throughout the day; a high amount of sun exposure can dry out the wood, causing it to warp. By laying down drier kiln dried ipe boards, you reduce the chances of warping. As a result, kiln-dried ipe may be more optimal in unusually dry climates or unshaded areas of the South.
