How to choose the best decking?

The terrace can be decorated in several ways. In this article, we present the characteristics of the most popular terrace boards and indicate what you should pay special attention to when choosing them.
Exotic wood
The location of the terrace requires that the wood laid on it be weather-resistant, have good hardness and high density. There are many different varieties with exotic names on the market: tek, ipe, bumaru, bankirai, massaranduba, garapa, kempas and mataa. They differ not only in color, but also in the structure and content of silica. In addition, exotic wood is resistant to abrasion (therefore, a terrace can be made of it flush with ground level), as well as to parasites and fungi, and some species are completely incombustible.
European and domestic wood
Boards made of Siberian larch are most often used, since this type of tree has small annual increments, which makes it stable, solid and characterized by high density - characteristics desirable in the case of decking.
Siberian larch wood is an excellent alternative to exotic wood also due to its resistance to biodegradation and relatively low price. The durability of this tree is estimated at 15 years and it is a 100% natural product. Very durable and stable wood is also obtained by heat treatment (at a temperature of 150-220 ° C without the use of chemicals). Most often, oak, ash, beech and pine wood is used in this process. This method is used to destroy all microorganisms in the wood, as well as to reduce shrinkage and swelling, making the boards resistant to fungi and not subject to serious deformations. Remember that heat treatment also increases the fragility of the wood (the board may split during installation with screws) and change its color.
