ThermoWood® - The Eco-friendly Alternative to Hardwood
The warm colour of ThermoWood® decking is inviting. The dark tones may resemble red hardwood, yet those solidly reassuring boards are pure Scandinavian softwood from sustainable forests. ThermoWood® is a premium quality softwood with longer life and superior looks. The heat treatment that improves the performance of ThermoWood® uses no chemicals. That makes it perfect for garden use - safe for children, pets, and plants all summer long. It works through the winter too. The resistance of ThermoWood® to water and fungal attack is so strong that your ThermoWood® deck will last up to 30 years. There's no need to lose that rich colour either. Just treat your deck with natural wood oils or a proprietory brand of wood stain. However, if you don't want to treat it for colour there's no need, the performance will not suffer and the colour will simply weather naturally - great news if you're an organic gardener. Available in 3.9m lengths. Also we can supply ThermoWood® decking components :- joists, posts, post caps, hand rails, base rails and spindles. (Contact us for further details and prices). |

The appeal of hardwoods lies in their naturally rich, deep colours that weather over time to develop a beautiful warmth and character. But hardwoods can be stained if you wish. Hardwoods are highly resistant to fungal growth and offer naturally superior levels of durability and wear resistance, without any additional chemical treatment. With only nominal care and maintenance with treatment oils, they retain their natural beauty year after year. There are a number of species to choose from and we have ipe, tatajuba and yellow balau, along with an FSC accredited hardwood. Depending on the final design and application of your decking, we can recommend the right species of timber for you. |

Yellow
Balau resembles Teak in color and grain. Although Yellow Balau is not
nearly as dense or as oily. It's sapwood is moderately well defined
and lighter in colour than heartwood. The colour of freshly cut heartwood
is yellow-brown, or brown with reddish tinge, weathering ultimately
to a deeper shade of brown or reddish dark brown. Planed surface is
not particularly lustrous but is by no means dull. The grain is interlocked,
often giving rise to faint stripe figure: texture is moderately fine
and even. Resin canals usually with white contents, occur characteristically
in concentric lines on the end surface but the wood is not resinous.

 |
IPE Heartwood dark brownish olive to dark olive, generally uniform, sometimes greenish due to lapachol, distinct from the pale yellow sapwood. Grain interlocked, texture medium, luster moderate or lacking depending on the species, characteristic odor and not distinctive taste.
Ipe could be the hardest wood in the world (three times harder than oak) and is highly resistant against fungi and termites.
