Why Choose Silvertop Ash Decking?

Silvertop Ash might lack visual flair, yet this quality is what makes it so attractive. It features a straight grain with hues ranging from light blonde to soft brown, offering a clean and understated finish. It harmonizes well with both traditional homes and modern constructions, particularly when aiming for a simple aesthetic.

Over time, it gracefully weathers to a grey shade, or you can enhance its color with oil or stain for a deeper hue. Regardless of your choice, it remains stable over time. Unlike some foreign hardwoods, it resists cupping or splitting when properly installed and maintained.

Built to Cope With the Outdoors

This wood withstands weather conditions effectively. Experts rate it as Class 2 for above-ground durability. This means it can last for many decades outdoors with regular care. Its heartwood is not rated termite resistant, so keep the subframe termite-protected.

Silvertop Ash Timber Decking meets BAL 19 standards. This makes it suitable for building in areas with a moderate bushfire risk. BAL-29 needs a thicker 22 mm board. It is still a good option for many building projects in suburban and rural areas.

Size Options for Your Diverse Needs: 86 x 19, 135 x 19

One of the things that makes Silvertop Ash so widely used is that it’s easy to work with. It machines well, takes fixings cleanly, and holds its shape once it’s down. Pre-drilling is always a good idea, especially near board ends, but you won’t be fighting with it like you might with denser timbers.

We supply two standard decking sizes at Greenhill Timbers:

• Silvertop Ash 86×19 Decking
• Silvertop Ash 135×19 Decking

Each board is kiln-dried, end-matched, and ready for installation. Whether you’re covering a large entertaining area or patching in a section of an older deck, the sizing is flexible enough to suit.
