THE POPULAR CHOICE AMONG HOMEOWNERS

Imagine a wood that doesn’t require constant chemical treatments or maintenance to withstand mold and decay. Now also imagine a golden color that has gained popularity in modern architecture by being able to elevate the exterior of any home? Stop imagining, you found it.

What’s to love about Garapa

• The natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects.

• The long lifespan of over 25 years, leaving you with a project you can be proud of for years to come.

• It’s generally easy to work with. Glues and finishes well.

• The natural resistance to scratches and slips for those who like to walk barefoot outside.

• It is less prone to splintering than softwoods when properly maintained.

• The great value for those seeking low-cost lumber that is exceptionally strong and equally hard.

• Peace of mind knowing its fire resistance is near that of steel.

Keep an eye on

• Its density and interlocking grain may make it somewhat difficult to work with.

• It requires well-sharpened tools but can be sawed, planed, turned, and molded.

• Due to its hardness, it may be resistant to nailing and screwing, however, it can be easily glued.

“Treatment is recommended for outdoor use. Interestingly, it is suitable for classes of use 5, in marine environments or brackish waters, that is, for shipbuilding.”
