Predrilling is an important step in the installation process of your Brazilian hardwood deck. Unfortunately, it tends to be glossed over, and the results aren’t pretty.
Improvements Continue in Brazil
Our new mill in Brazil needed some upgrades. Some of the machines were neglected and needed refurbishing. Others were beyond repair and were replaced.
We started doing work on a massive boiler that will power 11 dry kilns capable of drying 500,000 board feet of hardwood per month. This behemoth was torn down to its frame; we replaced all tubes, valves, controls, and fire brick to make it operate like new.
When is the correct time to clean and re-oil your hardwood deck?
It seems like the answer to this question should be simple enough. You clean and re-oil your hardwood deck when it starts to look faded. But you also have to take into account the season and the type of maintenance you’ve been doing.
Should You Use Salt to Remove Snow and Ice?
The United States is has finally fallen into winter’s frosty grip. While many are jumping for joy with the arrival of winter precipitation, others are dreading shoveling snow off their driveways and decks. We get how annoying it can be to shovel snow every morning. We understand that sometimes you just want to use salt and get it over with. But before you go out and buy salt by the pound, be mindful of the effects it can have on your deck.
New Woodmizer Added to Our Florida Sawmill
Our Florida location originally purchased a Woodmizer LT 50 hydraulic for processing logs.
Our Original Woodmizer:
We quickly realized that we needed something bigger and better. We have recently acquired a Woodmizer WM 1000 capable of cutting logs up to 67” wide. It’s the only one of its kind in the entire state of Florida. This allows us to mill giant logs!
Urban Lumber in Florida Expands
True to our resolve, we’ve been taking in and cutting more and more local Florida urban logs! Our variety of logs is growing and due to this growth we’ve been acquiring new machines to keep up with the demand.
Ipe Hardwood Siding For Your Business
Customers are attracted to businesses that look great and stand out. But standing out is difficult when you use the same materials as other businesses. One way to outshine the competition is to use a natural hardwood like Ipe for siding. Wood radiates a welcoming environment and evokes wholesome emotions that other materials can’t replicate.
