3. Natural Resistance : Massaranduba has natural oils and resins that act as a barrier against moisture absorption, fungi, and insect infestation. This natural resistance helps prolong the lifespan of the decking and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
4. Aesthetics : Massaranduba has a rich reddish-brown color that darkens over time, giving the decking a warm and luxurious appearance. It can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
