Decking
Bangkirai decking
Bangkirai is a hard tropical wood from Asia, yellowish-brown in colour, in durability class 2. A more affordable tropical option, with thick 25 mm boards.
What it looks like
It has a yellowish-brown colour that darkens over time. Small pinholes from insects in the forest can appear; they are normal for this species and do not affect strength.
Durability and maintenance
It is durable outdoors, with ordinary maintenance: cleaning, and oil once a year for the colour.
Installation
25 mm boards are laid on joists at somewhat wider spacing than thinner boards, pre-drilled before fixing.
When to choose it
When you want a hard tropical wood at a lower price than IPE or Massaranduba.
Guide price
Installation from 25 €/m²
Installation (labour) usually costs between 25 and 35 €/m². The difference comes from the material (dense tropical hardwood is harder to work than WPC), the substructure and how easy it is to reach the deck site.
Installation includes
- The joist substructure
- The boards, fixed with hidden clips or screws
- Cutting and edge finishing
Example: for a 20 m² deck, installation costs around 500–700 €.
