Deck construction and landscaping overview of timber types* *Solid wood decking is not part of our product range. This short overview represents a planning aid. a timber deck matches any ambience. Whether they are left natural and greying or are treated with care products: They lend a certain proximity to nature or even a sense of urban chic, and always a sense of well-being. as well as a suitable fastening system, above all good planning and professional assembly are essential for long-lasting, low-maintenance deck construction. Not all timber is the same: as well as aesthetics and price, it is advisable to weigh up the technological properties against one another. a timber with very high durability and an astoundingly beautiful exterior can, for example, have only moderate dimensional stability and may not be suited for indirect, hidden fastening. This overview of the most common deck timbers might assist you in your considerations. Please ensure that you refer to the information we provide on “Hazards in the construction of timber decks” on page 17. glossary • E-modulus (modulus of elasticity) – resistance of a material to elastic deformation. The higher the Young’s modulus, the stiffer the component. This overview quotes the Young’s modulus as measured parallel to the grain. • Durability class – indication of the natural durability of the heartwood with respect to fungus, from 1 (very durable) to 5 (not durable). • Dimensional stability – characteristic of the timber not to warp, twist, etc. due to swelling/shrinkage. 20 © NATURinFORM
