Iroko Hardwood Decking

Why choose Iroko decking?

• Durable & weather-resistant,a robust hardwood with natural resistance to rot and insects.
• Warm character,a golden-brown tone and distinctive grain that mellows attractively over time.
• Low maintenance,long-lasting; oil only to hold the colour.
• A classic,long established as a premium decking and joinery hardwood.

How Iroko weathers & finishing

Left untreated, Iroko silvers to grey with no loss of durability. To keep its golden-brown colour, use a decking oil (Osmo / Owatrol) — season the boards and remove mill glaze first so it penetrates, then re-coat as the colour fades. Clean back greyed timber with Net-Trol before re-oiling; never oil over greyed timber.

Sizes, profiles & fixing

We stock Iroko in a range of sizes in **smooth** and **reeded** profiles. As a dense hardwood it must be pre-drilled, use the Spax step drill with stainless steel decking screws, or Deckwise hidden fixings for a clean surface. Build on a well-drained, ventilated sub-frame.
