Blackbutt Decking ? The Best of the Blonde Decks

Blackbutt Timber: A Durable Decking Solution

Are you planning to build a new outdoor decking space? If so, blackbutt timber may be the ideal choice for you. With its numerous benefits and attractive appearance, blackbutt is one of the most sought-after decking timbers in Australia. Here's why:

Durability

Blackbutt timber is known for its strength and resistance to insect attacks and decay, making it an ideal choice for a deck that will last for many years with minimal maintenance. It is one of Australia's most popular hardwood decking timbers and has a Class 1 above-ground durability rating.

Additionally, blackbutt is not susceptible to Lyctid borers and is termite-resistant, which further enhances its durability. With a Janka rating of 9.1, blackbutt is also one of the hardest decking timbers available. If you need more technical information about blackbutt timber, contact Barwon Timber.

Decking Timber Colour

If you're looking for a light-coloured deck that is both attractive and strong, blackbutt is a great option. Barwon Timber?s Queensland Blackbutt decking is pale brown to blonde in colour with some light pink hues. It has a medium and even texture, a straight grain, and will have some gum vein features. This beautiful decking will not only look great but will also last for many years with minimal maintenance.

Where is Blackbutt Timber Sourced?

Barwon Timber's blackbutt decking is predominantly Coastal Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis), a species that is listed as a Bushfire Resisting Timber under AS3959. When used in compliant applications and designs, Blackbutt timber can achieve high Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) ratings, making this timber a popular choice for those living in bushfire-prone areas.
