Yellow Balau Decking

Description

Yellow Balau is a hard, heavy timber originating from Shorea which grows in South East Asia. Yellowish-brown, brown, or reddish-brown wood with an interlocked grain, and a moderately fine and even texture.Durable, knot free hardwood, it requires no treatment due to its natural resistance to fungal decay and insect attack.

Wood Type

Hardwood

Maintenance

We advise our customers to maintain their Yellow Balau decking regularly with Hardwood Oil. This is because the timber will weather with continued sun and rain exposure. When exposed to the elements, if not treated, Balau will weather and will turn to a silver-grey patina over the years while maintaining its strength and durability. Surface cracks on Yellow Balau are rare but may occur over time, yet will not affect the strength of the decking.
