Deck
Wooden Deck is a natural timber product which
brings the warmth and beauty of nature to
almost any outdoor area. Be it a restaurant
terrace, a garden patio or a luxury development,
wooden deck can transform the most
unwelcoming space into a relaxing heaven, at
one with nature and environment.
Wood is not a uniform material and each plank of
wood has its own character, dependent on the
source and growing conditions of the tree from
which it came. Although planks may emanate
from the same source, they can show variation in
grain and colour, sometimes on the same plant.
Once the timbers are exposed to ultraviolet light
however, natural oxidation will occur and the
differences in colour and grain will become more
uniform.
In order to retain the richness of these colours, it
is highly recommended that the timber to be
regularly treated with a good quality oil
preservative.
It is used widely in the open air, private houses,
patios, seashores, walkways.
