Angelim Pedra decking is a very popular decking choice, both for beautiful exterior decking and even for more rough
and tumble applications such as truck trailer decking. Outside of the realm of the exotic wood species, it is rare to find species that are
both beautiful and incredibly durable. Angelim Pedra's coloring is truly striking, with a tan to yellow base color vertically striped with
dark red and brown accents.
Growing in central and eastern portions of the Brazilian Amazon region and up into the Guianas, the Angelim Pedra
tree is a hearty tree that can reach up to 150 feet high and 10 feet in diameter. It features a straight and interlocked grain and a coarse
texture, with the grain of Angelim Pedra being one of its most distinctive features. Beyond just decking, you can also find Angelim Pedra
being used for varied uses, from fine applications like flooring, decking, and furniture, on to heavy construction.
Angelim Pedra's Janka hardness rating is 1,700 lbs with a density of 960 kg/m3. While the hardness rating is fairly
substantial, the density is very high, which makes for a stable and durable deck that will resist water permeation well. Angelim Pedra decks
easily weather heat waves, cold snaps, and excessive moisture with ease, making them a great natural decking option. It is also very resistant
to white and brown-rot fungus, making Angelim Pedra among some of the toughest natural decking materials available on the market today.
On top of all these benefits, Angelim Pedra is also a very affordable exotic decking option. With all of its durable
attributes and a great price point, an Angelim Pedra deck is a great combination of value, beauty, and longevity.
