Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Cumarú and Ipé?
[A validar] Both are dense, durable tropical hardwoods for outdoor use. Cumarú has a warmer tone, between golden and reddish, and is often a more accessible alternative to Ipé for decks and façades. An advisor helps you choose based on use, exposure and budget.
What grade does Cumarú come in?
[A validar] MadeiraTech’s tropical hardwoods arrive in FAS grade, kiln-dried (KD), planed on four sides (S4S) and with eased edges (E4E). They come from an Amazon sawmill we work with directly, which lets us control selection and supply.
How is a Cumarú deck installed?
[A validar] On a frame with supports every 40 cm, with stainless-steel screws or hidden clips, and 2 to 7 mm gaps between boards. Leave at least 10 cm of ventilation underneath. Professional installation is key to its durability, stability and performance in a tropical climate.
How often should Cumarú be maintained?
[A validar] Outdoors, every 1 to 3 years; indoors, every 3 to 5 years, depending on sun and rain exposure. The MadeiraTech catalog recommends oils such as Special Wood Oil or CUTEK Extreme Oil. An advisor will tell you which product and how much for your surface.
How do I order Cumarú?
[A validar] In four steps: we confirm availability, define the specifications (profile, dimensions, finish), send you the quote with the cutting list, and you confirm the order. Message us on WhatsApp with the use and approximate area, and an advisor guides you from the first step.
