Black Label elite hardwoods are always sourced with sustainability as a priority. All lumber is harvested legally, with careful consideration to the age, size and wellbeing of the forest.
Black Label hardwoods are kiln dried prior to milling, resulting in a lower moisture content and stability that’s unmatched in the wood industry. A Black Label deck will last between 50 and 75 years!
Architectural grade Black Label boards are free of heart center and free of sapwood. These boards are guaranteed to have zero defects, such as skips, torn grain, reverse grain, knots, splits or holes.
Island Decking takes your outdoor space from “eh” to “exotic.” With its enviable deep reddish-brown color and dense, fine-grained structure, Island Decking is an exotic hardwood that’s still affordable – giving you the qualities you need in a deck at a reasonable price. This desirable versatility makes Island Decking an ideal choice for many applications, with decking at the top of that list due to its durability and strength. Island Decking is sourced from our trusted direct partners in Malaysia for reliable, responsible beauty in every board.
Exotic hardwoods are prized for their reddish-brown color, and it's one of the qualities that has kept Island Decking in high demand for years. Left unfinished, the reddish-brown will age to beautiful gray - ask about Russin's pre-finishing options!
Island Decking is available in a number of common deck board sizes, with a variety of lengths and profiles. Ask about Russin's custom milling for additional sizes and profiles!
Because exotic hardwoods like Island Decking have small cells and are considered fine-grained, they are less prone to moisture absorption, making it one of the most naturally rot-resistant woods available.
