Hardwood Timber – the natural alternative
Hardwood timbers are ideal for high strength structural applications, such as bearers & joists. The natural durability of most hardwoods also makes them perfect for external applications, such as decking and stairs.
Our standard timber decking boards are ‘Merbau’ and ‘Blackbutt’, however any timber species can be arranged to match, for instance, your internal flooring.
Merbau
Merbau is traditionally a brown/red/earthy colour once oiled. It grows in South-east Asia.
- Good resistance to termites
- Suitable for some bushfire prone areas
- Popular decking timber
Blackbutt
Blackbutt grows in the coastal forests on the East coast of Australia. It is light yellow or blonde colour. Blackbutt is one of the most common species of hardwood commercially available in New South Wales.
- Popular decking timber
- Less leaching tannins and oils
