ABOUT OUR MATERIALS

RINOWOOD™

Rinowood™—a Landmark brand—is an extraordinary hardwood tree found in abundance throughout Central and South America. Although it has been imported into the United States for over 50 years in the use primarily for marinas and boardwalks, it has mostly flown under the radar in the home consumer market. That is until now. Today, it is the fastest growing choice of hardwoods for decks, docks, and piers in the United States.

Remarkable for its tight grains and high natural oil content, Rinowood holds the distinction of being the densest commercially sold wood in the world today. Rinowood naturally resists deterioration due to rot, decay, insect infestation, salts, and caustic chemicals—in fact, we offer a 25 year warranty because of this. It is five times harder than cedar, 70% stiffer than hard maple, and carries a fire rating similar to concrete and steel. As the wood naturally weathers, it takes on light silvery gray tones unless an oil or sealer is used to preserve its dark, rich natural colors.

Note: all of Landmark's natural woods are sourced using sustainable forestry practices monitored by local governments, the U.S. Government, and third party non-governmental organizations with the sanctity of good forestry practices in mind, and where positive social labor laws are enforced.
