Timber supplier in Brisbane reveals the reasons for the rise in popularity of timber decking in Brisbane.
Brisbane, QLD, 15 July 2016 - Timber decking has always been popular in Brisbane but timber suppliers in the area believe it is becoming even more so. A drive down pretty much any residential neighbourhood will reveal a plethora of timber decks of various sizes, shapes and designs. A recent blog post by Jack Kyle, Owner of Narangba Timbers, timber suppliers in the Brisbane area since 1972, took a look at the reasons for the popularity of timber decking in Brisbane.
Natural Beauty
Timber is the most natural of all building materials. The natural grain of a popular decking hardwood such as merbau is a perfect way to integrate nature into a home. The grain can be enhanced by a totally natural finish such as deck oil or a light stain that still allows the grain to be visually dominant.
Timber decks are not only valued for their aesthetic by homeowners, they are also a fixture at golf courses, restaurants and snack or souvenir shops at beaches or parks.
Low Maintenance
Timber decks require very little maintenance. When built with a hardwood such as merbau and sealed with a good stain or deck oil, timber decks are naturally resistant to water, pests and bacterial or fungal “rot.”
The only real maintenance that a timber deck usually requires is to be kept free of debris, especially organic debris such as food. It is also wise to sweep or squeegee the water off of a timber deck after a shower. Adherence to this minimal maintenance can help a timber deck last for more than 30 years.
Why Timber Decking?
Timber is a natural insulator that doesn’t absorb heat like concrete or other building materials do. At home, people can walk barefoot on a timber deck in the summer and not burn their feet. Timber decks make great places to relax outdoors and get some fresh air. They increase the value of a property for resale because they turn unused space into living area.
Alfresco Living Area
Timber decks can make a great natural alfresco living area. They can be built with a roof and even screens and windows. The structural demands for a timber deck are a lot less than the structural demands for adding an area of the same approximate space onto one’s home.
Because timber decks are strong and low-maintenance, they are appropriate for alfresco furniture, BBQ and even other fixtures such as flatscreen TV’s and outdoor kitchen equipment.
According to Mr Kyle: “The timber deck may be the most popular of all large DIY projects. When the deck is finished, it makes a great place to relax or to entertain friends. It helps us enjoy some fresh air and relax, by ourselves or with friends. I don’t think any DIY project provides such great immediate pleasure as a timber deck does.”
