What are the most popular timber decking choices for homeowners and commercial properties in Auckland?
If you have been inspired to raise the value of your property with the addition of a professionally built timber decking installation, your first consideration should be wood. That means you’ll need to know a bit about wood species in New Zealand and why they are the best choice wood for your decking.
Auckland homeowners and architects are more likely to choose hardwood over any other type of timber decking. This is because hardwood decking is harvested from trees with a slow growth. Because they take longer to reach maturity, hardwoods cost more to produce. However, these woods are highly durable, very resilient, and they are also extremely beautiful.
The Top 3 Hardwood Timbers for Decking
Kwila – Also called Merbau, this hardwood is tough and long-lasting. Besides its strength, Kwila has a natural red tone, naturally occurring oils to protect it against harsh environments, low shrinkage, splitting and cracking resistance, and requires minimal maintenance.
Fijian Mahogany – Moisture, decay, and insect resistant, this tropical hardwood comes in colours ranging from a pinkish red to orangey brown. Because it’s harvested from local Fijian sustainable farmers, it is one of the most free-trade and environmentally friendly timbers available. Fijian mahogany’s close grain and straight lines makes it splinter resistant.
Vitex – A strong timber with distinctive pale yellow, creamy grey colour, Vitex timber creates the perfect decking. It has a fine, lustrous, evenly grained texture and its leathery scent and tactile feel makes it ideal for kids’ play, bare feet fans, and entertainment areas. Vitex is only sourced from free trade, village-based sustainable farmers in the Solomon Islands, and its durability and resistance to shocks and high-use makes it the most popular choice wooden decking material for families and commercial properties, such as accommodation facilities.
We are the top choice for treated pine wood timber decking installations too. Please contact us for a quote today.
