Hardwood decking is made from slow-growing deciduous trees, making it a more premium option compared to softwood decking due to the extended growth period required. This results in a denser, more durable wood. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, hardwood decking complements both traditional and contemporary settings, offering a timeless and elegant aesthetic.
Champion Timber offers a range of hardwood decking that is classified as very durable, with a natural resistance to rot and decay, eliminating the need for preservative treatments.
Anti-Slip Balau Hardwood Decking is primarily used for outdoor spaces like patios, garden decks, pool areas, and walkways. Its key features, including its natural durability and built-in anti-slip properties, make it ideal for high-traffic areas, especially in wet or rainy conditions. The Balau hardwood provides a strong, long-lasting surface that is resistant to wear, while the anti-slip inserts or texture help prevent slipping, making it particularly suitable for stairs, ramps, and other areas where safety is a concern.
Reeded/Smooth Balau hardwood decking is used for a variety of outdoor applications, offering versatility with its dual-surfaced design. The reeded (grooved) side provides a textured surface, which can be used for enhanced grip and visual appeal, making it suitable for areas like garden decks, patios, or poolside spaces where traction is important. The smooth side, on the other hand, offers a sleek, contemporary look and is often chosen for areas where a more refined appearance is desired.
