About Arbordeck
Quality timber decking
Arbordeck is a complete decking system, manufactured from slow grown timber which provides arguably the most dimensionally stable, long lasting softwood decking on the market.
For our Premium grade we only use timber from northern latitudes because the trees in these regions grow slowly, which means the wood fibres are packed closely together and after manufacture this close packed structure gives your decking its strength. When our timber absorbs rainwater, it expands less than many other timbers and as a result there is less movement, which in turn reduces the strain against the fixings and minimises the risk of boards twisting, warping or splitting.
You can check how slowly grown the timber is by comparing the number of growth rings, the more growth rings, the slower grown the timber. But not all decking is the same, so we put our name on each board.
Environmental
Arbordeck is a Chain of Custody certified system which provides traceability from forest to finished product, helping to ensure that our natural environment is maintained.
As founder members of Forests Forever, the environmental voice of our industry, we only use quality European timber legally sourced from Northern latitudes. We work closely with PEFC and FSC, the global benchmark for responsible forest management, so you can be assured that all of our timber comes from sustainably managed forests.
Our preservative treatment is one of the most environmentally advanced, water borne systems on the market today.
New for 2011, Arbordeck is offering the leading composite decking and railing system, Trex Transcend. Trex is manufactured from 95% recycled materials such as wood and plastic waste.
A lasting product
All Arbordeck softwood components are treated with an advanced preservative for longer life. These components are manufactured from pressure treated timber that has been impregnated with Naturewood, a unique, environmentally advanced and proven timber preservative from Osmose, a global leader in timber treatments.
The treatment employs a water borne preservative developed to provide a long-term protection against termite and fungal decay whilst meeting the demanding requirements of Use Class 4 Standard for in-ground or direct soil contact and Class 3 for out-of-ground applications.
