Why Use Tigerwood for Your Deck?

Decking materials provide a lot of options to choose from. If you are looking for excellent quality with sophisticated style and beauty, Tigerwood may be an ideal option for you.

Tigerwood is a Brazilian exotic hardwood that promises durability, unique beauty, and functionality. The wood comes in varying hues ranging from light golden-brown to reddish-brown (like the pictured deck to the left). What is striking about the appearance of Tigerwood is the unique striped pattern of black and brown streaks, which is what gives it its name.

If you are looking for a hardwood that is unique and lustrous, Tigerwood is a perfect choice for you, given its sleek appearance.

There are many advantages to installing Tigerwood decking.  First of all, it is easy to install.  Secondly, it is easy to clean and maintain.  Thirdly, the wood quality offers a high resistance to damage caused by wear and tear, scratches, and even harsh sunlight. In fact, Tigerwood lasts longer than other type of hardwood.  And fourthly, Tigerwood is fire retardant and has exceeded the OSHA hazardous footing guidelines.

Tigerwood offers a denser composition, which means it dries easier and faster. That, in turn, prevents warping and cracking, so you don’t have to check it very often. Its hardness, which is Janka 2160 lb,  is also an advantage because it is one of the harder types of exotic hardwood available.

So, if you are looking for beautiful, excellent quality hardwood for your deck, contact Superior Hardwoods & Millwork of Montana. Superior Hardwoods offers high quality Tigerwood that guarantees low maintenance, stable construction, and beauty for years to come.
