Timber Decking Installation

Wood decking is a popular installation option in Singapore. They are popularly used on balconies, planter boxes and outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces. In the case of outdoor spaces such as fish pond areas, wood decking also offers access to the areas underneath the decking.

The types of timber that are popularly used in Singapore are Chengal, Ironwood, Merbau and Yellow Balau wood. These materials have proven to be durable in our tropical and humid climate. They offer a natural wooden aesthetic and warm feeling that could not be replicated easily with other materials.

Installing timber decking requires the installation of timber support structure, raising the decking to the required height, with the decks installed over the support. Gaps will be required between the decks to allow for expansion. After installation is done, the timber decking will need to be treated by sanding and varnish to give it the required finish.
