Cumaru
Cumaru is a high density South American Hardwood, which is highly durable.
It is a relatively new species to the UK, however Architects and Quantity Surveyors are starting to specify Cumaru for large cladding projects because of its look durability and life span, and it is all supplied FSC Certificated.
Cumaru has been used widely in Europe and North America for a long time. It was used for the decking on the boardwalk in Atlantic City and has lasted for 70 years so far without being replaced.
Bennetts Timber has supplied a Large Contractor with 8,500m of Cumaru cladding for the new Oasis Academy in Grimsby (see picture gallery)
