Decking

Kiln-dried and profiled, with a ribbed underside for airflow and an edge groove sized for concealed clip fixing, so nothing is visible on the walking surface.

Thermally modified

Heat and steam only. No chemicals, no preservative, nothing to leach. The timber is held at temperature long enough to change the wood itself, which is why the colour runs right through the section rather than sitting on the surface.

The result is a board that moves less with humidity and lasts longer outdoors than the untreated species it started as.
