Wallbarn Timber Tiles – Reaching The Parts Other Tiles Cannot Reach

The installation of timber decking to a roof can pose a number of problems with accessibility being a significant issue for many decking projects.

The range of hardwood timber tiles available from Wallbarn is absolutely ideal for installations with very limited height thresholds and are perfect for areas which are inaccessible for other decking products (longer planks).

Key Attributes

All our timber possesses the following qualities:-

• Are ultra-hard and dense.
• Are long-lasting.
• Are resistant to moisture ingress and rotting.
• Have smooth grains that are unlikely to splinter or scratch on the surface.
• Are resistant to insect and mildew damage.
• Are strong and weight-bearing.

Many projects face issues relating to accessibility and time constraints but because our timber decking tiles measure just 500 x 500mm they can easily be carried by hand to ensure their suitability for even the most inaccessible of areas.

The perfect example of how these can be utilised can be found in the following case study

Wide-Ranging Benefits

Hardwood timber tiles offer an easy way to lay attractive decking onto rooftops and terraces.

The key benefits include:

• By using suspended timber tiles, installers can combine the natural, attractive finish of timber decking with the speed and ease of laying paving slabs.
• Traditionally, laying decking directly onto surfaces means employing a specialist carpenter, this is not necessary with our range.
• Laying timber joists directly onto a waterproofing membrane also risks damage over time.
• The weight of the tiles holds them in place.
• Suspending the tiles on our support pedestals avoids having to fix anything to the deck and lifts the timber away from standing water.
• As everything is free-standing, the tiles can be taken up and replaced without disrupting the whole area, should the deck need to be inspected.
• Unsightly items such as drainage outlets, cables and pipes are hidden beneath the tiles.

Offering The Ideal Solution

Whilst traditionally laying timber decking directly onto these deck surfaces led to additional costs of employing specialist carpenters and laying timber joists directly onto the waterproofing membrane also risked damage over time, our timber paving tiles have been specifically designed to offer the perfect solution as the weight of the tile will hold the system in place.

This suspended system avoids having to fix anything onto the deck and lifts all the timber away from any standing water, avoiding the dangers of a slippery surface.

Because everything is free-standing, the tiles can be taken up and replaced without disrupting the whole area, should the deck need to be inspected. Unsightly items such as drainage outlets, cables and pipes can be hidden beneath the tiles and accessed easily.

Stunning finishes can be achieved. The tiles can be laid in a straight line pattern or in a “chessboard” style, depending on the client’s wishes. We have a range of different timber available sourced from South America, chosen for their beauty and durability.
