Why Choose Merbau Decking?

Merbau decking has become an increasingly attractive choice in Perth over recent years due to several factors:

UNIQUE COLOUR

It’s unique reddish-brown colour is lighter than Jarrah and with less grain characteristics.

IDEAL FOR THE HARSH WA CLIMATE

As a Class 1 Hardwood it is very strong, durable and does not warp or twist in extreme temperatures if fixed correctly to the underlying substrate. If maintained correctly, it is also ideal for coastal areas with high levels of moisture.

SOLID NOT FINGER-JOINTED

The Merbau sourced by WATDP is solid, opposed to the less durable finger-jointed option.

TERMITE & FIRE RESISTANT

It boasts the highest rating for resistance against wood destroying fungi and insects, including termites. Merbau is also rated BAL 29 for fire resistance and is therefore ideal in most fire prone areas.

Is Merbau Eco-Friendly?

Merbau is an imported timber which is sourced from Indonesia. Although it is yet to be granted the Australian Forestry Stewardship Certificate (AFSC), all of the Merbau we build with has been granted a SVLK (Timber Legality Verification System) status from Indonesia. This accreditation ensures that it is sourced from socially and environmentally sustainable forests.

Merbau Maintenance & Care

Although Merbau decking is very stable, it has a natural, oily-rich tannin which may leach if not prevented by a tannin-blocker sealer. It is advisable to pre-wash Merbau boards prior to installation and prior to sealing with a hydrophobic sealer. This is even more important if installing as a pool deck or around limestone.

We recommend that you speak with us for advice on whether a particular timber will be suitable for your individual requirements and how it should be maintained.
