It is very dense, which is why it is ideal for exterior use, as it is mildew and decay-resistant. It is often used for decking, flooring, railroad ties, and other purposes. Just like Ipe, Cumaru Hardwood has an A1 fire rating, does not scratch or splinter easily, does not become hot in the sun, and has a high friction coefficient. All these characteristics make it perfect for outdoor and seaside construction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecies:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDipteryx odorata\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Names:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlmendrillo, Amburana, Brazilian Teak, Cumaru Rosa, Imburana de Cheiro, Tonka, Tonka Bean, Tonquin Bean cumaru decking for building, kumaru, Gaiac de Cayenne, Amendrillo, ebo, Shihuahuaco Amarillo, Charapilla, Sarrapia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCumaru Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCentral and South America (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Venezuela).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppearance:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCumaru hardwood is a deep reddish brown with a tight, even grain.

Cumaru cannot be glued because of its high density and oily nature. Instead, nails and screws should be used well after pre-boring the boards. The dust from working Cumaru wood flooring has been known to cause a slight allergic reaction in contact with some people’s skin. As such, some care should be taken in installing and preparing this product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreservation:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCumaru hardwood naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-gray patina.
