Buying
Massaranduba wood is buying a hardwood which is a good choice on quality
while being much more economic than alternatives such as Ipe. Please do not
that you should ALWAYS buy massaranduba kiln dried (KD), this means with a
moisture content something around 12% in order to prevent any kind of
distortions such as cracking, warping, bending etc. If you buy your
massaranduba Hardydeck guarantees a 100% buy for satisfaction because it is
perfect quality and for a good price.
Not
just the quality or the price of massaranduba makes you decide for
Massaranduba lumber, also the aspect of environmental friendliness should
make you decide buying massaranduba decking. Massaranduba, unlike composite
decking products, is not chemically treated. Instead it comes from
sustainable managed forests, a very important aspect for Hardydeck
complying with the recent put into practice Lacey Act (US) and
FLEGT Action Plan. These two act aims to prevent imports from illegal
woods.
