High Stability for a Long-Lasting Deck
Timber naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and moisture. If a timber is unstable, this movement can cause splitting, cupping, or warping over time. Merbau is known for its high stability and low dimensional movement, making it a reliable choice for Australian conditions. Compared to other popular decking timbers, Merbau provides a premium look that lasts, with less risk of structural issues.
Exceptional Durability
A deck is an investment and durability is key to making it last. Merbau is rated Class 1 for durability as an above-ground timber, meaning it has a life expectancy of over 40 years when installed and maintained correctly. Naturally resistant to rot and decay, Merbau offers superior performance compared to many other decking timbers, ensuring your outdoor space remains strong and beautiful for years to come.
Sustainably Sourced Options
Choosing Merbau doesn’t mean compromising on sustainability. SpecRite offers FSC®-certified Merbau options, supporting responsible forest management. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) promotes biodiversity, climate resilience, and ethical forestry practices. By choosing FSC-certified products, you’re helping to protect forests for future generations. You can check the FSC status of our SpecRite Merbau supplier anytime at info.fsc.org (Certification No: SCS-COC-005449).
Pre-Oiled for Extra Protection
To ensure your deck starts with the best possible protection, SpecRite Merbau comes pre-oiled with Feast Watson® Industrial Timber Oil. This pre-treatment helps seal the timber, protecting it from moisture and UV exposure before final topcoating. With a strong foundation in place, your deck is ready for long-term performance.
Bushfire and Pest Resistant
Merbau is naturally BAL 29 rated, making it suitable for use in areas prone to bushfires. It is also resistant to termites, dry wood borers, and fungi, providing added peace of mind that your deck will stay strong and secure over time. Always follow guidance from your local building authority to ensure compliance in bushfire-prone areas.
