Garapa Rooftop Wood Decking Material
Mataverde® Garapa Decking is beautiful, durable and offers a lighter-colored decking material option with character striping and color variation that will turn a gentle silver shade if left natural. And while it looks soft and satiny, it’s still considerably stronger, harder and heavier than oak and extremely resistant to shrinking, splintering, cupping, twisting, checking and warping. Its low cost also makes it a very affordable choice as a decking material. Just add twinkling lights, a fireplace and some soft, comfy chairs and cushions, and be prepared to wow your guests.

Thermally Modified Rooftop Wood Decking Material
Thermally modified decking materials start out as a standard wood species, and through various different scientific heating and steaming processes, are transformed into a thermally modified wood. No chemical treatment needed in thermal modification. In general, thermally modified wood becomes a more stable, and better performing version of the original wood species. The processes also 'cook' the sugars out of the wood. This makes thermally modified wood decking very resistant to insects and much more rot resistant.
