Kwila Deck
Kwila is a popular hardwood choice for NZ decks due to its durability, natural resistance to rot, and striking reddish-brown appearance.
While kwila is low-maintenance, it’s important to hire a deck builder experienced with hardwoods, as its density requires pre-drilling for screws and proper spacing to accommodate seasonal movement.
Our eperenced builders uses stainless steel fixings to prevent tannin staining and follows NZ timber treatment standards for a long-lasting, high-quality finish.
Composite Decks
Composite decks are a low-maintenance alternative to timber, offering excellent durability and resistance to rotting, splintering, and fading, making them ideal for busy NZ homeowners.
Composite decking is less prone to warping and doesn't require staining, but it’s crucial to hire a builder experienced with composite materials, as proper substructure spacing and ventilation are needed to prevent moisture buildup.
Our experienced deck builders uses high-quality, UV-stable composite boards and hidden fastening systems for a sleek, long-lasting finish.
Hardwood Deck
If you're considering premium hardwood decking in NZ, Accoya and Purpleheart are excellent sustainable alternatives to kwila. Accoya is a modified radiata pine that outperforms many tropical hardwoods — it’s rot-resistant and dimensionally stable (minimal warping or swelling), making it ideal for NZ’s variable climate.
Purpleheart, a visually striking tropical hardwood, offers incredible density and natural durability. Both decking materials require a builder familiar with high-end hardwoods — Accoya needs acetylated wood-specific fasteners, while the density of Purpleheart demands specialised tools.
If sustainability is key, Accoya is FSC-certified and carbon-negative, while Purpleheart should be sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Pine Timber Deck
A pine deck is a budget-friendly option for NZ homeowners, offering a natural timber look at a lower upfront cost than hardwoods or composites.
For stability, our builders prefer to work with kiln-dried pine to minimise shrinkage and space joists closer together than with hardwoods to prevent flexing. While pine is softer and easier to work with, its lower durability means it’s best suited for those willing to commit to regular upkeep.
For sustainability, opt for FSC-certified or NZ-grown radiata pine, which has a lower environmental footprint than imported alternatives.
