Decking
Massaranduba decking
Massaranduba is a very dense tropical hardwood, dark reddish-brown in colour, in the same durability class as IPE. A good choice if you like reddish tones.
What it looks like
It has an even, dark reddish-brown colour that fades towards grey if left unoiled. Boards come smooth or finely grooved on one face.
Durability and maintenance
It is highly resistant to rot and wear. As with any dense tropical hardwood, small surface and end checks can appear, especially in the first year; they are normal. Oiling once or twice a year keeps the colour.
Installation
It is pre-drilled before fixing. 21 mm boards are laid on joists at closer spacing than 25 mm boards. We leave gaps between boards and ventilation under the deck.
When to choose it
When you want the durability of a class 1 wood and a warm, reddish colour.
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 €.
