Elevate Your Outdoors: Premium Yellow Balau Hardwood Decking
If you’re looking for a deck that works as hard as it looks, Yellow Balau is the overachiever of the hardwood world.
Known for its incredible density and natural resistance to the elements, this 145mm x 28mm profile offers a luxurious, high-end finish that’s built to last for decades.
One of the best features of this particular timber is its dual-profile versatility. One side features a sleek, Smooth finish for a contemporary look, while the other boasts a Castle profile for a more traditional aesthetic and added texture.
Rated as a Class 1 durability timber, it naturally resists rot, fungal decay, and insect attacks without the need for nasty chemical treatments.
Structural Strength: At 28mm thick, this is a heavy-duty board. It feels rock-solid underfoot and is far less prone to warping or flexing than thinner alternatives.
Stunning Aesthetics: When fresh, it glows with warm golden-brown and reddish hues. If left untreated, it matures gracefully into a sophisticated silvery-grey "driftwood" tone.
Fine Texture: It has a tight, interlocking grain that provides a smooth, premium feel, making it perfect for barefoot summer evenings.
Pro Tip: Hardwoods like Yellow Balau are incredibly dense. We strongly recommend pre-drilling your holes and using high-quality stainless steel screws to prevent snapping and avoid any unsightly tannin staining.
To maintain that rich golden glow, apply a high-quality UV-rated decking oil shortly after installation. If you prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle, simply let it weather naturally; it’ll still remain structurally sound for 20+ years.
Make sure to read our comprehensive care guide to ensure your hardwood decking remains in prime condition.

Important Note: To preserve the quality of your Balau decking, please keep it dry and sheltered from moisture until installation. As a natural product, timber can undergo movement due to atmospheric conditions, which may result in splits, shakes, or warping. These occurrences are normal and not classified as defects. We recommend allowing for a small percentage of waste when placing your order.
