Decking

Recycled Timber Decking

The majority of durable recycled timber speciescan be run into decking boards.

Recycled timber decking boards can be run anywhere from 60 X 19 through to 220 X 40 depending on the species. To help eliminate cupping a ratio of 5:1 width to thickness is desirable.

The recycled timber species perhaps best suited to being run into decking boards are recycled Ironbark and recycled Tallowwood, especially where the deck is exposed. Other species can be used especially where the deck is covered but will probably require better/additional maintenance to ensure their longevity.

Thermally Modified Timber Decking

Thermally modified timber is ideally suited for use as decking.

The thermal modification process limits the ability of the timber to absorb moisture so the boards are less prone to cup, warp and twist. This extends the life of applied finishes.

The thermal modification process also removes the nutrients in the timber that encourage wood destroying fungi and microbes.

Thermally modified timber ranges from a deep chocolate brown to bordering on black. However, like all timber, thermally modified timber will still go grey if not maintained.

Traditional sizes along with wider and thicker boards can be run.

Australian FSC Certified Decking

Currently FSC Certified White Mahogany decking is being produced in 64 X 19, 86 X 19 and 135 X 19 boards.

FSC Certified White Mahogany is a dense, Durability Class 1 timber. It can be treated with decking oil or allowed to go grey gracefully.
