When it comes to sleek, rich looks and design uses, there aren’t many woods better than Cumaru. A strong, long-lasting and hard-wearing wood, Cumaru is also beautiful and appealing due to its earthy tones.
These benefits are exactly why Cumaru wood features in several Cabinet Tronix outdoor TV lift cabinets. It offers amazing looks and can withstand the elements better than many other options. With this in mind, let’s take a more detailed look at where Cumaru comes from and just what it has to offer.
Brazilian Teak by Another Name
Cumaru wood, as the title suggests, is Brazilian Teak by another name. Some people also call it ‘Golden Teak’, due to its deep and rich color.
Cumaru wood is very durable even in its natural state, more than holding its own against the searing hear and torrential downpours of its central and south American homeland. Cumaru is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it the ideal wood for a backyard TV Lift cabinet, as evidenced by the enormously popular outdoor weatherproof solid Cumaru TV lift cabinet.
What Are the Pros of Cumaru Wood?
Aside from its durability and resistance to rot, Cumaru wood is also extremely hard and strong. The interlocking grain of Cumaru wood makes it the ideal, robust material for outdoor use, providing amazing protection against the elements, as it does with the Cabinet Tronix Stucco motorized cabinet, which utilizes Cumaru wood to protect the TV, but also to provide an elegant finish.
Alongside these benefits, Cumaru wood also ages very well, maintaining its golden, deep tones for years, even after being in the elements full-time. It’s a strong, long-lasting wood that also looks great and protects your backyard TV lift furniture from the weather.
Where does Cumaru Come From?
Cumaru wood comes from the Dipteryx Odorata tree, which grows all across Central America and the more northern climes of South America, which means Cumaru wood is spread across a huge geographic area and there’s no environmental impact of using it.
One of the reasons Cumaru wood is so tough and durable is because of where it comes from. The tropical environment of Central and South America imbues the wood with its hardness, and natural oils present in the Dipteryx tree mean that Cumaru is what is known as a ‘naturally treated wood’. This means Cumaru is stronger and hardier than most woods as soon as it is cut, with additional treatment only strengthening its natural state.
Cumaru in Design
Because Cumaru is such a versatile and handsome wood, it is great for teaming with other materials for elegant, beautiful designs. The Cabinet Tronix Outdoor Cumaru and Mamawood Backyard TV Lift Cabinet, for example, shows just how versatile and classy Cumaru looks, even as part of a modern backyard element.
Cumaru is a perfect wood for your outdoor lift cabinet because it provides the protection you need to be confident your Cabinet Tronix backyard TV lift furniture is always one-hundred percent working and ready to go. In short, Cumaru is a wood that looks great and gets the job done.
