Balau is a Malaysian hardwood timber. In its natural form it is light brown in colour.
We stock carefully selected 19x90mm 1st Grade Bangkirai Balau decking. Quality is very important to us and we source from the best suppliers.
Our decking is machined from kiln dried timber. With proper care it is very durable and suitable for use as exterior decking.
Balau decking is available in smooth or reeded (fine grooves) on 1 face. If laid with the grooves on top, sanding and oiling is more difficult as water collects in the grooves, and screws are difficult to hide and countersink neatly. We therefore recommend that it should be laid smooth face upwards.
Due to Balau being a natural product and usually installed in adverse conditions (i.e. direct sunlight), some movement of the timber can be expected but can be minimized by correct installation. 50mm joist for good support are advisable. Joist spacing for 19mm x 90mm boards are 450mm and plank spacing of 4mm - 6mm is recommended.
Garapa is an ideal wood choice for exterior wood decking around the pool or on your patio area. Garapa should be kiln dried which makes it very stable, insect and rot resistant. It's also a lot easier to work with than some other hardwoods. Garapa is becoming a great alternative for those who don't like a darker hardwood but would still like a quality lighter wood option. Also resistant to decay, splinters and scratches, but harder than oak and bearing a smooth surface. Kiln dried to the correct moisture content for Cape Town therefore adapting to the environment easily.
Pine decking is an excellent exterior decking. If installed and screwed correctly, there is little reason that pine decking should not outlast almost any hardwood. Pine decking is softer than it's hardwood counterparts and do scratch and makes dings easier. The knots in pine also brings it's unique look into play.
We treat our pine decking to comply with CCA H3 exterior specifications ensuring guaranteed protection against timber rot and termite attack.
Our decking is manufactured from dried and selected Southern Cape Radiata pine. This is the best quality pine available and is vastly superior to pine species from the northern area of South Africa
