If you are considering decking timber for your Sydney home, you are on the right track. It is one of the best types of outdoor timber flooring, with a host of benefits and sustainable timber options to choose from.
Let’s check out the many ways in which decking timber can improve your property’s resale value.
How Decking Timber Improves Sydney Homes
Not only is decking timber extremely good-looking as it perfectly complements the outdoor extension of any home, but it is also one of the most reliable types of wood that you can trust beneath your feet.
- Variety: Decking timber comes in several attractive shades with unique grains, so you can find something that matches the look and feel of your home.
- Durability: This type of wood is made for decks, so you can trust that it is durable and strong. Many varieties are also resistant to insects, fire and scratches.
- Easy to reseal: Decking timber is easy to refresh with a little sanding and resealing just before your sale, making it an attractive selling point, even to potential buyers with children or pets.
Types of Decking Timber That are Best for Sydney Weather
There are two main types of decking timber that do well in Sydney’s climate:
- Hardwood: Hardwood decking timber is generally very strong and built to withstand tough outdoor conditions, from insects to fires and daily wear and tear. It is also water-resistant.
- Treated pine: Even though it is softer than hardwood, it is still durable and tough enough to give you a reliable, long-lasting deck. This is the more cost-effective of the two and is also suited to a warmer climate due to its ability to reflect heat. Like hardwood, treated pine is also resistant to insects and fungus.
