Outdoor decking in exotic hardwood: performance and care
Why high-density hardwoods are a natural choice for outdoor use and how to preserve their appearance.
A deck lives with sun, rain and daily use. That is why the choice of timber is decisive. High-density exotic hardwoods, such as Massaranduba or Angelim Vermelho, are recognised for their natural resistance and durability in outdoor use.
What makes these timbers suitable
- High density and hardness
- Good natural resistance outdoors
- Intense colours and striking grain
Essential care
- Ensure ventilation and drainage beneath the deck
- Follow the recommendations for fixing and for spacing between boards
- Clean periodically and renew the finish when you want to keep the original tone
Over time, exposed timber tends to take on a greyish tone — a natural evolution that can be kept or reversed with suitable maintenance. Installation and maintenance manuals are available in the Professional Area.
