Mayan Ruby™

Lonchocarpus spp

Mayan RubyTM products are the most luxurious and exclusive exotic hardwood available for building materials.

Sourced from the pristine heart of the Mayan civilization forests, it is renowned for its unparalleled beauty and durability. Its products are designed to captivate those who desire materials that stand out from the mainstream offerings.

This is a very rare and limited wood available to a few. It is harvested with the approval of three international auditing and certification organizations at a limited rate of just one tree from every two acres within a span of 25 years.

There are several trees per acre at different ages, but you will cut only one, usually a tree with an average of 60 to 70 years, and only return to the area 25 years later. This way, you let nature develop the siblings naturally without impacting the natural forest and its elements. This explains its exclusivity and sustainability and why only a handful of homes or spaces can have this product in a year.

Renowned for its beauty, it features striking tones, ranging from light brown to reddish, occasionally with dark streaks, lending a unique and luxurious aspect. The grains can be straight or in uneven patterns, creating a unique design for each milled piece.

Mayan RubyTM is not just about looks; it’s about strength. Its bending strength surpasses even the hardest species available in the market, giving you the confidence that your project will stand the test of time. (25,200 psi bending strength)

About the Wood

It is a dense wood with natural thermal neutrality that keeps it pleasing to the touch, incomparably better and smoother than composite or modified materials. It is also one of the woods with the best flame spread resistance and is highly resistant to rot, decay, insects, and shrinkage.

It’s a superb choice for a deck or flooring, particularly effective in extremely humid, hot, or cold conditions. Often used for flooring, decking, and siding.
