wooden decking

From the dry Kalahari Sands regions of Zimbabwe and Zambia, the Zimbabwean Teak (Baikiaea plurijuga) tree provides a sustainable raw material custom-made for the manufacture of outdoor decking and interior flooring. Considered to be one of the hardest (12850N@ 12% Moisture Content) and densest (800-1000kg/M3) timbers, Zimbabwean Teak, with it’s characteristic reddish brown heartwood and pale pinkish brown sapwood, is an extremely stable timber providing a fine and even-grained texture. The mist-shrouded Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe is the source of our Zimbabwean Saligna decking timber. Cut from slow-grown, mature stands, this Eucalyptus species has a density and stability seldom found in plantation-grown trees. Carefully cut, kiln-dried and graded prior to machining, Underfoot’s Zimbabwean Teak and Saligna decking is manufactured by McDonald Timber Industries (Pvt) Ltd in Zimbabwe and distributed by Underfoot Wooden Flooring (Pty) Ltd in Southern Africa.

stealth decking clip

The new Stealth Decking Fastener from Deck One delivers a flawless, no-nail finish with superior strength, durability and safety that is easy to install. Over 8 million clips have been installed. Stealth clips were developed and used internationally in some of the world’s harshest environments for wood. Developed in conjunction with the timber industry experts and builders specifically to prevent rotting and extend deck life. Smooth no nail finish; smooth natural appearance; less puddles, stains and slime buildup. Safer (no popped nail injuries), safer to play on, easy moisture cleanup, safe top-down installation. Stronger fixings in shear, no plank cuppings; hot dipped galvanized for added life; resists movement; ventilation gaps help prevent joist rot. Saves you money; extending deck life; quick installation, less upkeep, easy to refinish and less maintenance. Deckone Technical Info Nails and screws hasten the demise of any deck by promoting rotting in the joist. With Deckone’s new no-nail finish clips fasten into the side of each deck plank and securely hold it down. Deckone precisely spaces the plank and elevates it off the joist to promote ventilation therefore preventing rotting. There are no holes in the plank or the joist where water can collect. All the fixings are in shear, or in the side of the plank and the side of the joist, thereby eliminating any place where rotting can start.

hickson decor wood finishes

There are three main products in the Hickson Décor range of brush applied finishes that have been developed for both softwood and hardwood, interior and exterior applications. Hickson Décor Wood Stain Hickson Décor Breather Paint Hickson Décor Hardwood Finish All are high build, microporous, coat-on- coat products – complete finishes from a single can. They eliminate the need for a separate primer or undercoat, although they are fully compatible with Hickson Predec basecoats and primer, if required. Each product in the range has a high solids content compared with alternative wood finishes, which not only provides a superior spreading capacity but also gives a greater film thickness and increased durability of the coating. Moisture and ultra-violet light are the primary agents that can dramatically shorten the life of decorative coatings for timber and subsequently cause high maintenance costs. They can cause deterioration of the substrate leading to blistering, cracking, peeling and flaking of the decorative finish. The Hickson range of microporous wood finishes has been specially formulate to overcome these problems and has been increasingly specified by architects and used by private contractors, local authorities and housing associations since its introduction into S.A. in 1993. The finishes have a highly flexible structure that compensates for movement of the wood. Their microporous formulation allows the timber to breath and any excess moisture to escape as a vapour through the coating, whilst the exterior surface remains highly water repellant.
