Often called Brazilian Redwood, Massaranduba is a beautiful,
finely-grained and uniformly colored, light reddish wood that makes an quietly elegant deck.
It is one of the finest products available for exterior decking.
We carry a large inventory of the finest quality Massaranduba decking.
Widely used in fine decking in Europe and South America,
a Massaranduba deck is knot-free, even-toned, and low maintenance.
It is smooth to the touch and remains smooth and splinter-free.
It shares many of the properties of ipe.
It is as strong, hard, and durable as ipe.
And, like ipe, it is decay and insect resistant - without use of chemicals.
Our Massaranduba is kiln-dried to prevent shrinking and checking.
You can preserve the redwood coloration effect of Massaranduba decking by periodically applying a UV inhibitor.
Or you can allow your Massaranduba deck to weather to a lovely silvery patina.
The scientific name for Massaranduba is Manilkara bidentata, and
the USDA Forest Service Products Laboratory provides
detailed technical information in its
Massaranduba Technical Sheet.
