Unfortunately, these mills toss this perfectly good lumber into landfills, or they get burned. Staybull Flooring™ solves this problem by fusing those strips of lumber to create a dimensionally superior plank that has more benefits than bamboo, engineered, and solid flooring combined.

Featured Deck of the Month - Cumaru Decking in Michigan
When we first saw pictures of this Cumaru deck in Michigan, we were blown away. The luscious reddish brown color really shines. You can tell a lot of thought and careful planning went into constructing this three story deck.
Why did they choose Cumaru over Redwood and even Ipe Decking?
Cumaru was an easy choice for this family because they wanted a decking that offered a:
- Warm & inviting palette of reddish brown colors
- Durable surface with high scratch and slip resistance
- Reliable material that will excel during the harsh Michigan winters
- Premium grade wood that also resists mold, and decay
- More affordable option than composite decking and Ipe
