TigerDeck® was founded by two lumber experts, passionate about quality materials and convinced that through research and development, they could arrive at a unique solution for those seeking exotic looks and unmatched performance.

TigerDeck® is a trademarked brand of Tigerwood decking, siding and other Tigerwood products that has been specializing in this species (Astronium spp) for over 20 years. Tigerwood and tigerwood decking is not an endangered species or listed on CITIES as some of the other leading tropical hardwoods are. Tigerwood is a relatively fast-growing tropical hardwood and is found from southern Mexico to Argentina. We primarily source it from Brazil and Bolivia as the suppliers there are more reliable and have sustainable practices established for legal logging. We started importing tigerwood hardwood decking products as rough green lumber and developed a proprietary hidden deck fastening system (Black Talon Universal), pioneering the concept of hidden fastening systems for decking.

In the process we developed kiln schedules and designs to make it the most stable and user-friendly hardwood decking product to install. Over the course of time, we developed relationships with the best legal suppliers who now follow our drying and grading procedures to ensure a very consistent stable product. The drying of Tigerwood is critical to stabilizing this species which, unfortunately, a lot of other importers do not understand and import it not dried correctly and have issues. You can be assured that TigerDeck® hardwood tigerwood decking is properly dried and uses the best stainless steel hidden fastening system to eliminate surface penetration in your beautiful deck and makes for an easy installation. Of course, for those who prefer, the deck boards can also be face screwed in the old traditional method. TigerDeck® also offers Tigerwood home siding (T&G, Rainscreen & shiplap), paneling, porch, deck accessory products and other custom profiles that can be used for interior surfaces, boats, or other unique applications.

Tigerwood decking has a striking appearance that stands out compared to all composites and most other hardwoods. For outside applications of Tigerwood decking an oil is applied with UV inhibitors to block the sun’s ultraviolet light from fading color. If this is not important there is virtually no maintenance required and the wood will turn to a beautiful silver patina and maintain a very smooth surface. The life expectancy of tigerwood hardwood is 50 years in an exterior application, so it is essentially a lifetime deck. For interior applications the wood will maintain its natural beauty without any preservation however a clear oil or lacquer type finish will make the character, figure and color of the wood really pop.
