Limited by the design brief to replace the existing deck to compliment this 70’s period property with the finest of decking materials was a great challenge for Exterior Decking.

From an initial onsite visit to ascertain the exact requirements, to presenting samples to provide the look and feel the clients were looking for, was the first step. The materials delivered by Exterpark direct from Barcelona to site in Villafranche in Nice on time and exactly as ordered.

Each deck board was 4 metres in length and 45mm thick, the weight of these were incredible. Sore shoulders were the order of the day as we clambered down the side of 4 stories of hillside stony staircase with one of these on our shoulders, all 2 tonnes of it!

Each board had been meticulously profiled by Exterpark to provide a perfectly fitted invisible fixed decking system, not a single screw in site. This provided the client with a luxurious look and feel of an interior wooden floor except for outside.

The project was finished over four days and handed over to the client’s gardener to complete the transformation of the soft landscaping.

We look forward to our next travels to the Cote d’zur, Villafranche in the South of France to provide an Exterior Decking project…

21mm Hardwood Decking
21mmIpe, Kurupay (INFONA) or Teak (FSC), perhaps most durability class 1 timber would be acceptable for the majority of installations, although, in some cases thicker timber is more appropriate.

The advantages of 21mm timber is that it will suit a wide range of applications, is cost effective and when installed correctly will provide a stable area for loads up to 4 Kilonewtons per square metre. For structural calculations always consult the timber deck, joist and beam span charts from TRADA. In short the deck span should not exceed 400mm for domestic and 300mm for commercial.

28mm Hardwood Decking

28mm Massaranduba or Lapacho, again there are many different decking hardwood species to choose from. So the thickness increases and so does the price, there are also good points to consider!

Enhanced longevity, increased board width, wider joists span (500mm/400mm) and quicker installation. This is the intermediate board thickness usually used for increased foot traffic or the large garden party deck. This board thickness should be considered for pubs and restaurants, the thicker the board the more durability you are going to have.

Now we are increasing the decking thickness we should perhaps consider is it worth installing over a standard treated pine sub-structure? Hardwood timber carcassing would be advantageous as the increase of longevity in the thicker board will surely last longer than the substructure; why not have a hardwood substructure that will last the same?

35mm Hardwood Decking

35mm thickness, Elondo (FSC) or Merbau (FSC) the supreme and highest quality decking material available. This ultra thickness is only attained by using the very highest quality and select raw timber materials.

This timber is rather expensive and a once in a lifetime install. Once installed over a hardwood timber substructure, using stainless steel fixings, this decking will outlive all other timber decking. It is by far the most durable and will take the severest of punishments of heavy foot traffic and is suitable for all marine applications.

The substructure joists centres can now be as much as 600mm making an easy option for balconies with steels already in place at these wider intervals.

The stability of this timber is in a class of its own and has been supplied to some of the world’s largest and most luxurious installations. The thickest decking that Exterior Decking has supplied is 45mm thickness in Ipe for a luxury project in Nice, S France.
