Tongue and Groove Products: Strength, durability and versatility
Tongue and groove products made with tropical hardwood are commonly used in construction and woodworking. Tropical hardwoods are known for their durability, strength, and attractive appearance, making them popular choices for flooring, paneling, decking, and other applications.
Tongue and groove is a method of joining boards together. It involves milling a groove (channel) along one edge of a board and a corresponding tongue (protrusion) along the edge of another board. When these boards are fitted together, the tongue of one board fits into the groove of the adjacent board, creating a tight, interlocking fit.
Tropical hardwoods are favored for tongue and groove products because they possess several desirable characteristics. These woods are often dense and resistant to rot, decay, insects, and moisture. They can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Tropical hardwoods also feature unique grain patterns and rich colors that enhance the aesthetic appeal of tongue and groove products.

2. Cumaru (Brazilian Teak): A dense and durable wood with a reddish-brown to yellow-brown color. Cumaru is resistant to rot, decay, and insects, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
