Ecotimber offers a range of FSC certified hardwoods suitable for decking. Ecotimber’s hardwoods are stronger and harder than the softwood decking that is on the market. Choice of timber will depend on the context. For public areas with heavy pedestrian traffic and/or regular maintenance vehicles, a heavier timber is required than in domestic situations. Species such as ipe, cumaru, massaranduba, itauba, and red angelim are suitable for heavy use while louro, red louro, and favinha may be used for less demanding situations.
