Softwoods
Hardwoods
Bamboo
& Our Service Areas
Softwood species used in decking include cedar, spruce and pine. This type of wood is often cheaper than hardwood. Although, it’s slightly less durable with a shelf life of around 15-20 years. With know-how and maintenance you can add years to your softwood deck. Many decking companies use softwood for the subframe (composite options are also popular).
Known for its strength and durability, hardwood comes from species such as teak, oak, and elm. Hardwoods offer resilience through decades of British weather and seasonal extremes.
With less maintenance required and a lifespan of over 25 years, many clients favour this option over softwood alternatives. Contact our team for your deck samples and compare the options.
Bamboo decking is another option our clients request quotes for.
Bamboo is often thought of as a hardwood. Infact it’s more accurately defined as a species of grass. Native to tropical regions, inc. South East Asia, Australia and South America, bamboo is an attractive, durable and sustainable material for decking projects.
