One of the most difficult choices to make with decking is the type of material. So, why choose hardwood decking for your garden?
Hardwood is sourced from slow growing trees, typically those which are found in rainforests and is therefore slightly pricier. However, most hardwood timbers are farmed properly so it isn’t usually bad for the environment.
One of the toughest hardwoods for decking is Ipe: a timber we regularly use at Kingfisher Decking. Ipe wood is often referred to as ‘iron wood’ and is capable of providing up to 100 years use with little maintenance required.
Hardwood tends to require better woodwork skills, yet looks stunning when it’s finished. Both softwood and hardwood make beautiful and long-lasting decking.
Whatever choice of timber you’re after, Kingfisher Decking can help you install beautiful decking.
Based in Staines-upon-Thames in Middlesex, Kingfisher Decking install decking all over the South East and can install a wide range of features, including balustrades, seating, structures, fencing and extra features like LED lights and standard decks.
