Description
For contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners, Tiger Deck ® is North America's leading manufacturer of tigerwood decking systems. Tiger Deck stands behind every product we sell with a 25-year limited warranty . Our hidden fastening system is unrivaled in ease of installation, flexibility, strength and durability. We promote sustainable, responsible harvesting practices of the tigerwood we import and require the highest standards in milling and kiln drying processing. We spent more than two years testing over 40 different hardwood species from around the world at our own manufacturing facility in Washington state before selecting tigerwood (Astronium spp) as the specie of choice. Factors involved in the decision were availability—it grows from southern Mexico to Argentina; it is not listed on any threatened or endangered species listings; its striking appearance; its durability—naturally resistant to decay; and its fine finishing qualities. We developed our own drying schedule to stabilize the product for our suggested uses. In addition, we have developed the first integrally designed hidden fastening system for use with hardwoods. This system received a patent in 2002. Tiger Deck (Astronium spp.) is the only hardwood decking product to achieve American Lumber Standard (ALS) grade rule certification. Third party grading agencies inspect our deck boards and use the grade stamp Premium Radius Edge Decking (R.E.D.) on deck boards that meet their stringent structural requirements, ensuring grade and structural conformance to building codes for decking application throughout North America.
