Deck Materials
Engineered for the Tropics
South Florida presents a unique set of challenges for outdoor structures. Between the high UV index that bleaches standard wood and the 80%+ humidity that invites rot and mold, selecting the right material isn’t just about aesthetics-it’s about longevity, safety, and return on investment.
The economical standard. Infused with chemical preservatives to resist termites and rot. Ideal for framing and substructures.
Naturally resistant to decay. Cedar stays cool to the touch and offers a classic Pacific aesthetic that ages to a silver patina.
Highly stable with minimal warping. Redwood's deep hues provide a luxury look with superior fire resistance compared to other softwoods.
Exotic Hardwoods: The Ironwoods
For those who refuse to compromise. Exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa are so dense they don’t float in water. They offer a 30-40 year lifespan with proper care.
- The ultimate luxury decking, rivaling the durability of steel.
- Exceptional hardness with rich, reddish-brown tones.
- A golden-blonde hardwood that is naturally slip-resistant.
