When we want take advantage of an outdoor space of Terrace Timber Frames we must think about the type of soil, since that surface will mark the activities and the use that we can give the place. Alternatives of floors for the exterior there are many, but one that undoubtedly gives a natural and harmonious appearance with the environment is the wooden deck , a very stable and durable plank floor that looks great in small patios, terraces or as areas transit in the garden. The one we will build in this project measures 3 x 2.70 meters.
The woods are perfect for outdoor environments: they give terraces a rustic and warm air that is most welcoming. You can take advantage of the wood from your outdoor room to give it an aged tint and achieve an even more country feeling although, if you opt for woods without 'effects', you will also have to take into account this series of references to know what type of material will suit better to inclement weather.
Teak wood
It is the great favorite for its toughness and Timber Frames Newcastle its resistance to outdoor environments. This material withstands both cold and heat very well and only needs cleaning with a damp cloth for maintenance. From time to time, to preserve its color, it is recommended to give it a bath in teak oil. The downside is its price, although if you are going to use the terrace a lot it will be worth investing in it. The color of the teak creates a very attractive environment in contrast to the green of plants and trees.
Bamboo wood
In addition to the fact that bamboo is one of the most resistant woods , by including it in your terrace you can boast of having chosen a sustainable material. Bamboo is a plant - not a tree - allowing it to recover quickly and easily after being cut. Its stability means that it does not contract or expand with changes in temperature, it hardly absorbs moisture and it supports heat well.
Green pine wood
If you have a tighter budget , you may be able to opt for this type of material. With a good anti-fungal and anti-humidity treatment, this wood withstands its installation outdoors well, but you must carry out a specific treatment to protect it against severe aggressions.
Tropical woods
This type of wood grows in environments where very high humidity, torrential rains and suffocating heat are registered. That is why they are prepared to withstand the elements outside and are ideal for terraces. One of the most used is that of ipe, which, although not particularly cheap, only requires varnishing with special oil twice a year.
