Cumaru, also known as Brazilian Teak, is a premium tropical hardwood sourced from Amazon Basin, northern South America (Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana). With a Janka hardness rating of 3,330 lbf and a density of 65 lbs/ft³, Cumaru is classified as Class 1 - Very Durable — one of the most durable commercial lumber species available. The heartwood exhibits light to medium brown with reddish tones with interlocked grain, medium to coarse texture, creating a striking natural appearance that improves with age.
Cumaru outdoor flooring is ideal for covered porches, screened-in rooms, and breezeway floors where a refined, interior-quality finish is needed in a weather-resistant package. Properly installed Cumaru outdoor flooring delivers a service life of 50+ years with minimal maintenance — an optional annual oil treatment preserves the original color, or you can let the wood weather to a distinguished silver-gray patina. Cumaru carries a Class A - Low flame spread, making it suitable for wildfire-prone regions where code-compliant materials are required.
The 5/4 x 4 pregrooved profile has factory-milled grooves along both edges, designed specifically for hidden fastener clip systems like Ipe Clip or DeckWise. This creates a clean, screw-free surface with no visible hardware. All Cumaru lumber is available in Select and Better grade with lengths ranging from 4′ to 20′.
