Red Colour Decking

 

A deck is a great way to get more mileage from your outside space.  No matter whether you choose to extend your deck directly from your home, place it around a pool or situate it in a particularly sunny spot in your garden, making the right choice for your decking won’t only enhance your property; it’ll enhance your life too!

If you’re looking for red colour decking, this Red Balau Hardwood Decking is likely to tick all your boxes.  Red balau decking has a huge number of advantages over other decking options.  Naturally resistant to fungi, decay and insect attack, balau hardwood decking is a seriously low-maintenance option.  Only needing minimal treatment to stand up to the outdoor environment, this isn’t only a highly practical decking solution; it’s great looking too.

Another particularly appealing benefit of red colour balau hardwood decking is that balau wood is extremely stable.  What this means is that it’s much less likely to warp or cup, even when exposed to extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations.  Add to this the fact that this species of wood simply doesn’t shrink and expand like other species of wood and you start to see why more and more people are plumping for red balau hardwood decking.  Shrinkage and expansion can play havoc with decks, causing gaps that are both unsightly and can be dangerous under foot or when seeking stability for your furnishings.

This extremely durable and attractive hardwood hails from Indonesia and is recognised as one of the hardest hardwoods around.  And when you choose red balau hardwood decking you know you’ve made a great long term investment because it ages so beautifully and will blend in perfectly to pretty much any environment, however there are certain settings that lend themselves completely to this choice, and they are:

Where you have a wall of glass

Indoor, outdoor living is really popular now and more and more people are in the envious position of having a full wall of glass in their home.  While this is a stunning architectural feature as well as a real enhancement to your lifestyle, it can pose challenges when seeking out a decking option that will take away from what is often a grey overall effect of the glass.

If you are facing this challenge, then red balau hardwood decking will bring your wall of glass to life immediately because the richness of the red colour deck will bring a whole lot of depth and charm to your outside space.

Where your house is surrounded by greenery

If you’re one of the lucky people who’s house is in an isolated location where it’s surrounded by greenery, you are sure to enjoy plenty of peace and quiet.  However, like many others in this situation, you might find that short of introducing some startling paint colours your house has a tendency to look a bit ‘lost’ in its environment.  One option to prevent this happening is to paint your house or at least the woodwork of your house a bright colour.  While this might suit some people, many think that this option isn’t a great compliment to the natural surroundings that they’re lucky enough to be in.  This is where red balau hardwood decking is a great help.  Enabling you to help your home stand out in its natural setting in a completely natural way, it is sure to tick all your boxes.

Where your house is painted or stained a dark colour

Dark coloured houses, particularly if they’re made of wood can look absolutely stunning.  Even a dark painted façade can make a relatively uninteresting property look classy and punch above its weight when it comes to charm.  However, the thing with dark coloured properties is that they can sometimes look a bit gloomy from the outside, particularly in wintertime or on dreary days.  A great way to avoid this is by installing a red balau hardwood deck to give you the outdoor socialising space you yearn for.  The contrast of the warmth and naturalness of the red wood against a dark coloured home is a perfect way to create an interesting and appealing contrast that will lift your home to a whole new level.

If you’re considering a new deck or are planning installing a deck for the first time, red balau hardwood decking is well worthy of consideration.  But if you’re in doubt, why not get in touch if you’d like some help to make the right decisions for your setting?
