Western Red Cedar decking
John Brash can offer two grades of Western Red Cedar decking: A premium clear
grade and an 'architectually knotty' grade. Both are equally suited to decking
and are manufactured from PEFC accredited timber. Please note however, that due
to the composition of the timber, only smooth, un-profiled deck boards are available
in Western Red Cedar.
ThermoWood® decking
Thermowood decking is produced from a special process using high temperature
kilns to modify the cell structure of the timber. Wood material is heated to
a temperature of at least 180°C whilst being protected with steam. Besides providing
protection, the steam also affects the chemical changes taking place in the wood.
As a result of the treatment, environmentally friendly ThermoWood® is created.
Its colour darkens, it becomes more stable than normal wood in conditions of changing
humidity and its thermal insulation properties are improved. The heat treatment
also makes the wood more resistant to decay and gives it a longer life expectancy.
ThermoWood® deck boards are manufactured from either European Redwood or European
Whitewood.
NB: ThermoWood® is a registered trade mark of Lämpöpuuyhdistys ry.
Hardwood decking
Hardwood deck boards are only recommended for certain specific applications -
where unusually heavy pedestrain traffic is expected. John Brash can source a
range of high quality FSC accredited hardwoods. However, care must be taken when
specifying hardwood as the properties of different hardwoods can vary significantly.
John Brash can advise on the availability and suitability of various wood types
for use in specified applications.
