Hardwood Decking

Hard wearing and beautiful in appearance hardwood decking is a traditional decking method. Using responsibly sourced hardwoods may involve a little lead time depending on stock and the time of year.  As such we will only buy from licensed and approved ethical distributors that can assure the quality and sustainable origins of their timber (such as dedicated tree farms) since there is still a large environmental problem with obtaining the wood from poorer countries who cannot afford to have sustainability measure in place to cope with deforestation issues.

Softwood Decking

Softwood decking is made from coniferous trees, which are faster growing and therefore more economical to farm in volume. Tree plantations in Europe are also generally managed with sustainability in mind so there aren’t any woodland environmental problems caused with this type of decking. We only source from FSC approved timber merchants.

Common species used are: Cedar, Pine, Spruce, Fir, Thuya, Hemlock giving both beautiful colours and textures.

Softwood decking will require more maintenance long term to avoid warping and splitting but we can provide you with advice on how to get the longest life out of your decking.
