Featured Product: Garapa Decking
While your thoughts may be yearning for springtime and visions of backyard beauty and warm cloudless days sparkle in your mind’s eye, you may be considering a new deck, dock, porch or other outdoor retreat. A not-so-widely-known species called Garapa (gah-RAH-pah) may be the ticket to happiness at your homestead. Garapa is a member of the Mataverde® Premium Hardwood Decking family. This honey blonde Brazilian beauty is a species of exotic decking as durable as it is attractive.
Garapa’s delicate ribbon-like graining and rich colors vary wonderfully from piece to piece and even within individual boards creating a subtle understated warmth and unique character. Mataverde® Premium Garapa is all heartwood and ranges in color from a sun kissed yellow to golden brown which will darken slightly with age. If left natural Garapa turns a soft silvery platinum hue very similar to Ipe. While this species shows less color and grain variations than Ipe or Cumaru, there is still a beautiful assortment of exotic boards. Like a hardwood floor inside your home, no two pieces are alike. This rich variation reflects the inherent beauty of this all natural species.
Mataverde® Premium Garapa is a tough, dense wood with a soft looking satiny grain and is considerably stronger and heavier than oak. Like Mataverde® Ipe and Cumaru it is extremely resistant to shrinking, splintering, twisting, cupping and checking. Mataverde® Garapa has a high decay resistance rating throughout all fibers of the wood. Mataverde® Garapa is kiln dried to minimize shrinkage and checking to provide a deck surface that is just right for you.
Like all Mataverde® Premium Hardwood Decking species, Garapa is an all natural, very dense exotic hardwood, is responsibly harvested, and is covered by a 25 Year Limited Warranty against insects and decay.
