27 Feb Benefits of Nordic Pine for Outdoor Decks
Are you considering putting up a deck outside your home? A well-constructed outdoor deck can be a gorgeous addition to any home, creating a space that’s perfect for both relaxation and gathering with loved ones. Our Nordic Pine timber will make for an excellent material to use for your deck. Renowned for its durability, sustainability, and affordability, this timber will ensure your outdoor deck has a long-lasting service span.
If you’re unsure about what material will best suit your outdoor decking needs, here are some benefits to consider when using Nordic Pine.
Why Choose Nordic Pine for Your Outdoor Deck
Weather Resistance and Durability
All of our Nordic Pine timber is pressure-treated. This process forces preservatives into the wood’s cellular structure, providing a high resistance to fungal decay, rot, and moisture-related damage. Nordic Pine is an especially popular choice in coastal areas due to how well it performs in high-moisture environments. Additionally, this treatment renders the pine unappealing and resistant to
wood-boring insects such as termites.
While untreated pine can rot quickly, our pressure-treated Nordic Pine can last over 20 years, depending on environmental conditions and maintenance.
Affordability and Cost-effectiveness
Pressure-treated Nordic Pine is an affordable, cost-effective option for decking, as it generally sits at a lower price point than hardwood while still offering long-term durability. Although still slightly more expensive than untreated pine, Nordic Pine requires less maintenance over its lifespan, allowing for lower costs in terms of repairs and replacement over time. This material is a great long-term investment; not only will your deck last you for years to come, but due to it being sourced from sustainable forests, it remains a renewable, cost-effective and eco-friendly resource.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
Nordic Pine is sourced from sustainably managed PEFC labelled forests. This means that we only source from forests that are managed in a manner that supports the area’s biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity, and vitality. Resulting in it being a much more environmentally responsible choice in comparison to some tropical hardwoods.
Our Nordic Pine is all treated with a high Class 4 ACQ 2100 standard using copper salts and DDAC. This treatment method offers a safer, arsenic-free alternative to traditional treated timber. It is designed to provide long-term outdoor durability, while supporting a modernised approach to timber preservation that is more environmentally safe.
Ease of Use and Installation
Highly regarded for its ease of use and straightforward installation, pressure-treated Nordic Pine is becoming an increasingly popular choice amongst DIY enthusiasts and professionals. Since it’s a softwood, it is widely recognised for its workability; it can be cut, drilled, and shaped with general ease. It is also lightweight, allowing for more convenient handling and installation.
