Hardwood Timber Decking

Natural timber decking refers to decking made from a variety of wood species, each offering unique characteristics. Hardwood decking, such as species like Jarrah, Spotted Gum, Merbau and Fijian Mahogany, is typically denser, more durable, and resistant to wear and tear than treated softwood options. They are ideal for high-traffic areas and have natural resistance to environmental factors. Softwood decking, like pine, is lighter and less dense but can be more cost-effective. It requires treatment to improve its resistance to the elements.

Natural timber decking requires regular maintenance to preserve its beauty and longevity. This typically involves cleaning and/or re-oiling the wood every 1-2 years, depending on the exposure and wear. The maintenance helps protects it from moisture, UV damage, and insect infestation, ensuring it remains structurally sound and visually appealing.

Wood is a renewable resource with a lower carbon footprint compared to composite or synthetic materials. Our suppliers adhere to forestry stewardship standards, ensuring that timber is harvested responsibly and forests are regenerated for future generations.

Natural timber decking can be used in various climates, but its performance may vary based on the type of wood and treatment. Hardwoods generally provide better resilience in extreme Perth conditions due to their density. Proper installation and regular maintenance, including sealing or re-oiling, can ensure natural timber withstands weather variations effectively, reducing warping, splitting, or rotting.

Hardwoods like Spotted Gum and Blackbutt meet Australian bushfire resistance standards, making them suitable for decking in applicable bal-rated areas.

Hardwood timber decking, such as Merbau, Spotted Gum or Fijian Mahogany, offers exceptional durability and strength, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial projects in Perth. These hardwoods withstand heavy use while maintaining their structural integrity and visual appeal. Their natural oils and dense composition provide resistance against wear, decay, and insect attacks, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

To ensure the longevity of natural timber decking in commercial settings, regular maintenance is key. This includes periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris, applying protective coatings like sealants or deck oil to prevent weather damage, and promptly addressing any signs of wear or damage. Proper installation and design are critical to its lifespan.
