Questions
What exotic hardwood species do you offer?
We provide over 70 species including Ipe, Cumaru, Tigerwood, Garapa, and Teak, sourced sustainably from South America and milled to order at our U.S. facilities.
Are your products FSC-certified?
Yes, our FSC Chain of Custody certification through Preferred by Nature ensures all materials originate from responsibly managed forests with third-party verification.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship container loads to ports in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with logistics support for commercial projects requiring global delivery.
What decking maintenance is required?

How do you ensure product quality?
We own the mills where wood is harvested and processed, allowing strict quality control from forest to finished product, including carbide-tool precision milling and moisture content testing.
