Construction and Materials
Mataverde offers premium hardwood decking solutions, meticulously crafted from naturally durable and beautiful wood species. These products are designed to provide exceptional longevity, aesthetic appeal, and performance for outdoor living spaces.
The primary materials used in Mataverde decking are exotic hardwoods known for their inherent resistance to decay, insects, and weather. These species are sustainably sourced, ensuring both environmental responsibility and superior product quality.
- Ipe: Renowned for its extreme density and rich, reddish-brown color, Ipe is one of the hardest woods in the world. It offers unparalleled durability and a lifespan that can exceed 50 years even in harsh climates. Its natural oils provide exceptional resistance to rot, decay, and insect infestation.
- Garapa: This golden-toned hardwood provides a warm and inviting aesthetic. Garapa is known for its good strength, stability, and natural resistance to decay and insects, offering a longer service life than many common decking materials.
- Tigerwood: Characterized by its distinctive dark, irregular stripes against a reddish-brown background, Tigerwood offers a dramatic and unique look. It is a very dense and durable wood, resistant to rot and insects, making it an excellent choice for demanding outdoor applications.
- Cumaru: Also known as Brazilian Teak, Cumaru is a dense and durable hardwood with a rich brown color. It shares many of Ipe's desirable properties, including excellent resistance to decay, insects, and wear, providing a beautiful and long-lasting deck.
- Massaranduba: This deep red hardwood offers exceptional hardness and durability. Massaranduba is naturally resistant to decay and insects, making it a robust option for high-traffic outdoor areas and challenging environments.
The construction of Mataverde decking involves precision milling of these hardwoods into standard decking profiles. The boards are typically kiln-dried to achieve optimal moisture content, which enhances stability and reduces the likelihood of warping or cracking once installed. The milling process ensures consistent dimensions and a smooth surface finish, ready for installation.
Key construction and material highlights include:
- Natural Durability: The inherent properties of the chosen hardwood species eliminate the need for artificial treatments against rot and insects.
- Sustainability: Woods are sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring responsible forestry practices.
- Dimensional Stability: Kiln-drying processes contribute to reduced movement in the wood.
