Maintenance

Always Pre-Drill Before Fastening

Ipe and Cumaru are extremely dense, pre-drill every hole to prevent splitting and ensure a secure, clean fastener connection.

Use Stainless Steel Fasteners Only

Standard steel reacts with hardwood tannins, causing rust and staining. Always use stainless steel screws, clips, or hidden fastening systems.

Cut With Carbide-Tipped Blades

Hardwood blunts standard blades quickly. Use carbide-tipped blades for every cut to get clean, precise edges without premature tool wear.

Maintain Correct Board Spacing

Leave a 1/8 inch gap between kiln-dried boards. Proper spacing allows airflow, reduces moisture retention, and keeps the deck surface flat.

Apply UV-Protective Oil After Installation

Coat all board surfaces and cut ends with a quality hardwood oil immediately. This preserves natural color and prevents early graying and surface checking.
