Types of Timber
Decking comes in many different species offering variable strength, size, colour, grain and density. With these variables come different prices and performance.
Pine
Clear treated pine provides the same excellent colour and performance as treated pine decking but without the presence of knots or the greenish hue of CCA treatment that can cause discoloration. It has a density rating of 550, a toughness rating of L and a durability class of 1, with colour variations ranging from pale straw to yellow. It is highly popular and affordable, being one of our best selling decking options. This decking material is known for its exceptional stain-taking ability, sturdiness and durability.
Kapur
Kapur, a hardwood decking board, is imported from Indonesia. It is a DAR board, with slightly rounded corners on all four sides. Kapur boasts a density rating of 750, a toughness rating of M and a durability class of 2, making it suitable for above ground use. It has a WPR colour profile, which typically appears as a light reddish-brown hue with a slight paleness. Kapur is an excellent value decking board that delivers optimal performance, showcasing a beautiful grain pattern and colour.
