Merbau Timber Decking
Merbau is a premium natural hardwood, known for its rich colour and strength. It’s a popular choice for clients who love the authentic look and feel of real timber.
Benefits of Merbau Decking
- Natural beauty – Rich, warm tones that age beautifully over time
- Strong & durable – A dense hardwood suitable for high-traffic areas
- Natural material – No plastics or composites
- Can be sanded & refinished – Allows the deck to be refreshed years down the track
- Adds character & value – A timeless look that suits many Gold Coast homes
Considerations / Cons of Merbau Decking
- Requires ongoing maintenance – Regular oiling is needed to maintain colour and prevent weathering
- Can fade or silver over time if not maintained
- May bleed tannins – Especially when new or exposed to rain
- More movement – As a natural timber, it can expand and contract with weather conditions
- Higher long-term upkeep costs compared to composite options
