Decking
Itaúba decking
Itaúba is a hard, olive-brown tropical wood in durability class 1. It is traditionally used in boatbuilding too, which says a lot about how it copes with moisture.
What it looks like
It is olive-brown, with a slightly oily feel to the touch. The long boards allow decks with few joints.
Durability and maintenance
It is very resistant to moisture, rot and insects. Regular oiling keeps the colour; without oil, it turns silver-grey.
Installation
It is laid on joists at the recommended spacing, pre-drilled before fixing and with gaps between boards.
When to choose it
For decks in damp areas, by pools or water, and for anyone who wants long boards with few joints.
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 €.
