Incised Timber Decking Treatment from NWTT

Timber decking is a fantastic way to completely change both how a garden looks and how its owners use it. Offering an attractive, comfortable and useful place to eat, work or just relax in the sunshine, a quality timber deck can also add to the financial value of a property. As with all construction projects, using materials of the highest possible quality is essential to ensure a good foundation, creating a structure that will provide a safe and pleasurable experience for many years to come.

NWTT Timber Merchants supply everything required to create beautiful, durable timber decking. From the solid foundation that is the decking boards to the screws that hold it all tightly together, we are the one-stop shop for all of your timber decking requirements from start to finish.

We supply two types of decking boards from stock: heavy-duty (125 x 38mm width) and economy (125 x 32mm width). Both are fabricated from strong, sturdy wood and the heavy-duty decking boards have undergone a protective waxing treatment to make them more resistant to frequent usage.

Any decking project must have a strong, supportive framework in order to be successful. This frame is built with the use of the decking joists which form an integral part of our timber decking products collection. Our decking joists have been pressure treated to ensure that the resulting structure is built to last.

Newels and spindles add extra support and also give decking its classic attractive aesthetic. Choose from our selection to ensure you get your garden decking looking exactly right. Adding a base and handrail, also available from the NWTT timber decking collection, completes the project, leaving a multi-functional outdoor space to be repeatedly enjoyed.

Timber used for fencing is almost always treated with wood preservative to prolong its useful life, protecting the wood from weather and keeping it structurally and aesthetically sound. The process of 'incising', wherein many small incisions are made into the surface of a piece of timber to allow preservative treatments deeper penetration, is a great help in achieving an extended service life of fencing.

Incising technology dates back to 1911, when it was tested and patented in Austria. Several improvements were made as time progressed and, by the 1950s, incised timber started to become standard in North America and Canada, where it continues to be widely used to this day. The tried, tested and trusted incising practice has been proven to meet and exceed UC4 penetration requirements of the applicable British Standard, providing consistent, uniform penetration of wood preservative treatments and giving a 15-year timber life expectancy.
