John Brash offers a full range of structural timber decking and deck products for all forms of commercial and domestic applications. 

 

 

 

John Brash produces a range of high quality DeckSure® structural timber deck boards, using kiln dried European Redwood, carefully selected to meet British Standards.  All boards are either a nominal 125mm or 150mm wide (finnished width 120mm or 145mm).  Four standard thcknesses are available (32mm, 38mm, 50mm and 75mm, finnished to 28mm, 34mm, 46mm and 68mm).

 

Boards are supplied in a variety of lengths as either Decksure® or Decksure® Premier.

 

 

 

Timber treatment:  All John Brash DeckSure deck boards have been vacuum pressure treated with Osmose Naturewood to BS8417:2003 and carry our unique 25 year guarantee against wood rotting fungai and insect attack.  In addition a water releppent wax additive is applied during the preservation process which further improves the stability of the wood making it less susceptible to chnages in temperature and humidity and hence less prone to twisting and splitting.  The boards are then dried and a final visual inspection is carried out to check for any imperfections in the wood.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 tyrade mark of Lämpöpuuyhdistys ry.

 

 

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.
