Decking

Ipe

Lapacho or Brazilian Walnut – a tropical hardwood originating from South America. Widely regarded as one of the best species of timber for decking.

Boards available in lengths of 1200mm and 1800mm and either 90mm wide or 140mm wide giving a great deal of flexibility.

It has a greenish brown appearance and because of its tight grain is popular for its high resistance to mildew, termites and rotting. It is very low maintenance and is used extensively in marine and exterior construction due to its resistance to water. It dries very well and becomes extremely hard, which means it has to be pre-drilled and cut with a mechanical saw. Ipe has a fire rating of Euroclass B and will last up to 25 years. It is nicknamed “ironwood”.

Timber Decking Tiles

Timber decking tiles are a great solution, especially for low-height thresholds and are quick & easy to install.

• Achieve thresholds as low as 37mm
• Long-lasting, attractive decking suitable for the British climate
• Durable hardwood – lasts over 15 years
• No specialist carpentry required
• Pre-formed tiles – easy to cut for detailing
• No joists required – avoid damage to your membrane

Ideal for ultra-low thresholds

• Our tiles are just 30mm in height which means combined with our 7mm fixed height pedestal you can deck up to a threshold as low as 37mm
• Traditional decking methods using timber joists, even if suspended on a super-low support pad, will only allow you to deck up to a threshold of 130mm or higher

Just like laying slabs

• Uniform size and space between decking
• Unsightly items such as drainage outlets, cables and pipes are hidden beneath the tiles
• Tile weight holds them in place
• No need to fix anything to the deck
• Futureproofed: take up a tile to inspect your deck with minimal disruption
