Installation Tips

Pre-drill all fastener holes to prevent splitting.

Use stainless steel screws or hidden fastener systems.

Allow 1/8" spacing between boards.

Mix boards from multiple bundles to blend color variation.

Acclimate boards on-site for 5-7 days.

Seal all cut ends with end-sealer.

Maintenance

Apply hardwood oil annually to enhance the dramatic grain pattern and maintain the orange-brown color. If left untreated, Tigerwood will weather to gray but the stripe pattern will remain visible. Clean with mild soap and water. The color will deepen over time with UV exposure.
