Wood Haven supplies sustainably harvested and FSC certified tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Cumaru, Massaranduba in the form of decking and the Wood Haven Rainscreen System. Owner, Jim Guffey, has engineered and developed a hidden fastening system for our Rainscreen System and our decking hardwood.
