Next, we will talk about the undeniable advantages of a decking board (another name is decking), the price of which is consistent with the quality.
What is acacia decking
Acacia is a natural tree of light color. Its natural physical and chemical properties are higher than those of many "brothers" (for example, than oak and artificially grown tropical trees). Shades of acacia range from light yellow with a hint of green to orange with honey veins. At the same time, the density of wood at standard air humidity is also higher than that of oak or teak.
Acacia wood contains natural chemical formations that provide protection from external harmful factors (like fungus and insects). Thanks to this, acacia has a unique and invaluable property - unlike many wood materials, it does not require any chemical treatment at all.
Acacia decking is an innovative eco-product for creating unusual outdoor areas. Such boards are more reliable and stronger than ordinary ones, they are highly resistant to weather and humidity changes, and also retain their predetermined shapes for many years.
Terrace board production
The production of high-quality terrace boards is a rather complex process in terms of technology. It requires compliance with all rules and procedures, the availability of professional equipment and only the best materials. Another important factor is qualified and trained personnel.
Initially, raw boards are dried in the open air, and then placed in chambers specially designed for this. They contain boards at low temperatures until the percentage of moisture in them decreases to 10-12 percent. The specified humidity guarantees a stable condition of the terrace boards. Additionally, during the process, the tension of the wood is removed.
Before splicing begins, all kinds of defects are removed from the boards: from knots to cracks. The resulting blanks are sorted into several categories: by shade, fibers and tangential cut of the tree (annual rings).
Our company manufactures and sells wooden terrace lamellas of different shapes, sizes and colors. We are also ready to take on an individual order according to the size of the customer. You can discuss the details with our managers online (on the website) or by phone.
Advantages of terrace boards
Acacia terrace board, which you can order on the " Curtains Shop " website, has a lot of advantages over similar products from other wood:
- Excellent moisture resistance. In view of the installation of terrace boards in open areas, this feature is of key importance. The building material does not rot or dry out over time, ensuring the integrity and preservation of the shape of the structure (terraces, verandas, gazebos, flooring);
- Large temperature fluctuations. Acacia boards can withstand a wide range of temperature fluctuations;
- High loads. Terrace board can withstand weight up to 1000 kg;
- Immunity to ultraviolet. The sun's rays will not spoil the decking even after many years of direct contact with it.
Resistance to aggressive environments and adverse external factors is achieved not only due to the natural properties of the source material (acacia), but also due to the peculiarities of the production process. In the manufacture of terrace boards, they are dried, polished and treated with special compounds against corrosion and pests.
How to choose the right deck board
Deciding to purchase a terrace board in Kyiv, Dnipro or any other city in Ukraine, first of all, you need to decide on its dimensions: length, width and thickness. Also pay attention to the bindings, the mounting system and the compatibility of the board with support systems.
There must be a fixed proportional relationship between the thickness and width of the material. This will ensure the reliability of installation and determine the rigidity of the structure. The optimal dimensions for a terrace board are 19-22 mm in thickness and 100-140 mm in width.
Mounts can be open or closed. In the first case, the decking is attached to the lags with self-tapping screws at the front. But in this case, there is a possibility that the material will be spoiled. In addition, open fasteners are not considered the most reliable - cracks that form with such fasteners can begin to rot over time.
When fastening a closed type, laying is carried out using fasteners or clips located from the inside. Additional grooves for installation will also be required, since the laying is done end-to-end. With closed fasteners, the material remains completely intact, microcracks do not appear. The coating will last at least 20 years and at the same time retain its original appearance.
