The Unmatched Strength and Beauty of Cumaru

Cumaru (Dipteryx odorata), often referred to as Brazilian Teak, is a dense and heavy hardwood native to Central and South America.¹ It is globally recognized and highly sought after for its remarkable physical properties and striking appearance, making it an ideal choice for applications that demand both beauty and endurance.

Color and Grain:

Cumaru boasts a beautiful heartwood that ranges from a rich yellowish-brown to a reddish-brown, often with attractive, fine dark striping. Over time, and with exposure to sunlight, its color deepens and mellows, creating a warm, elegant patina. The grain is typically interlocked, giving the wood a handsome, wavy texture that catches the light beautifully.2 Its fine, uniform texture and natural luster contribute to a sophisticated finish that is both inviting and luxurious.3

Durability and Hardness:

This is where Cumaru truly excels. It is one of the hardest and most durable woods available, ranking exceptionally high on the Janka hardness scale.4 This extreme density makes it incredibly resistant to dents, scratches, and wear, ensuring longevity even in the highest-traffic areas.5 Cumaru is also renowned for its remarkable natural resistance to decay, rot, and insect attack, including termites.6 These inherent properties make it a perfect material for both interior and exterior use, even in challenging, moisture-prone environments. Its exceptional dimensional stability further contributes to its reputation as a reliable and long-lasting material.

Workability:

Despite its extreme hardness, Cumaru is surprisingly workable with proper tools and techniques. It sands to a smooth, beautiful finish and holds fasteners exceptionally well. Due to its density and natural oils, it is important to use carbide-tipped tools and pre-drill holes for fasteners. When finished, Cumaru accepts glues and stains effectively, allowing its natural beauty to be enhanced or sealed with a protective clear coat.

The Advantage of Tongue and Groove: Precision and Performance

The Tongue and Groove (T&G) profile is a timeless and highly effective milling technique that creates a superior interlocking joint. Each board is precisely milled with a “tongue” on one edge and a matching “groove” on the other.⁷ This design provides a host of benefits that are particularly valuable for Cumaru:

• Exceptional Stability: The interlocking T&G joint creates a continuous, stable surface, significantly reducing the risk of individual boards warping, cupping, or shifting over time. This is especially important for high-traffic flooring and exterior decking.
• Seamless Aesthetics: The tight, secure fit of the T&G profile eliminates unsightly gaps between boards, resulting in a smooth, elegant surface that enhances the overall look of any installation.
• Ease of Installation: The T&G design simplifies the installation process, allowing boards to fit snugly together with minimal effort, which reduces labor time and costs. Fasteners can be hidden within the tongue, creating a clean, professional finish.
• Versatility: The T&G profile makes Cumaru an ideal choice for a wide range of applications where a robust, continuous, and visually appealing surface is desired.

Our Premium Cumaru Tongue and Groove: A Promise of Quality

At CUF Group, we are committed to delivering Cumaru Tongue and Groove products in excellent condition, ready for your projects. Our rigorous quality control measures ensure that every piece meets our exacting standards:

• Carefully Sourced and Selected: We partner with reputable suppliers who adhere to sustainable and ethical harvesting practices. Our selection process focuses on procuring Cumaru from mature trees that yield timber with the highest density, most consistent grain, and minimal defects.
• Precision Milled in Custom Sizes: We process our Cumaru T&G in a variety of sizes, depending on your request. Our advanced milling machinery ensures that each tongue and groove profile is cut with exceptional precision, guaranteeing a perfect, tight fit for every board. We work directly with our clients to produce the specific dimensions needed for their unique projects.
• Expertly Kiln-Dried (KD): All our Cumaru T&G undergoes a carefully controlled kiln-drying process. This vital step reduces the moisture content to the optimal level for its intended use, whether for interior flooring or exterior decking. Proper kiln-drying significantly enhances the wood’s dimensional stability, preventing shrinkage, swelling, and cracking after installation, and prepares it to accept finishes beautifully.
• Pristine Condition, Ready for Use: Each board is meticulously inspected before shipment. Our Cumaru T&G is largely free from significant defects such as large knots, splits, decay, or insect damage. The surfaces are smooth and ready for immediate installation and finishing, requiring minimal preparation and reducing waste.
