Our History
The Story of TigerDeck®
TigerDeck® was founded in the U.S. by two lumber experts dedicated to developing a superior hardwood decking system—one that could overcome the shortcomings of traditional American
softwood and composite decking.
Finding the Right Materials
Knowing that hardwoods would offer better durability, we began by testing over 40 hardwood species from around the world for looks, strength, quality, sustainability, and value. After experimenting with different hardwood types and drying processes, we selected Tigerwood—a hearty, exotic species that matches or exceeds the performance characteristics of Ipe, while being more sustainable and less expensive. We knew that it’s striking beauty with vibrant red, orange, and brown tones and exotic, black striped grain would deliver something unique to the marketplace—offering a sophisticated, upscale look at a competitive price.
Perfecting Our Process
Knowing that proper drying is key for ensuring the stability and performance of Tigerwood, we began testing various drying processes and schedules that would allow us to consistently deliver a high-quality material with incredible strength and durability. We refined our unique kiln drying process over 20 years and as a result, TigerDeck® significantly outperforms other Tigerwood products on the market—with one of the lowest claim rates in the industry.
Creating a Complete System
After perfecting our material, we set out to create a complete decking system that would elevate performance even further. This led us to develop our patented Black Talon® Hidden Fastening System, the world’s first integrally designed hidden fastening system for use with hardwoods. This innovative technology eliminates the need for pre-drilling, making installation more efficient and outlasting decks with screw down or other fastening systems. As our fastening clips are hidden, the system also helps maintain Tigerwood’s high-end look, eliminating drill holes that can negatively impact appearance and cause premature cracking or splitting. As a result, customers can count on their deck to stay incredibly strong and remarkably beautiful for years to come—with minimal maintenance required.
