Which Wood Should You Choose for Your Terrace? Tips for a Durable and Aesthetic Terrace

When selecting wood for a terrace, it is essential to consider several key criteria that will determine both its appearance and durability. First of all, resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental influences. Maintenance needs should also be taken into account: some types of wood require more frequent oiling or impregnation, while others are more naturally resistant. Aesthetics are equally important – the colour, texture and natural feel of the wood. Finally, budget. It is essential to consider not only the initial cost but also the long-term investment. For a long-lasting and enjoyable terrace, it is worth choosing terrace boards based on all these criteria.

Thermo-treated wood is an exceptional choice for a terrace, offering a combination of natural beauty, durability, and environmental sustainability. ESSPO Wood produces thermally treated pine, spruce and Ukrainian ash terrace boards, which are of high quality and appreciated by both professionals and individual customers. The thermal modification process utilises only heat and steam, without the use of any chemicals, to produce a 100% environmentally friendly product. These wooden terrace boards are resistant to rotting, warping, pests, and moisture. Although periodic refurbishment is recommended to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the surface, this maintenance is simple. Stability, a beautiful natural texture, and a long service life make thermo-wood an ideal choice for a modern terrace.

For a top-quality outdoor terrace solution, hardwood terrace boards made from thermo ash are worth considering. Naturally classified as a hardwood, ash is a highly dense, strong, and durable wood. The heat treatment further enhances these qualities, making the wood resistant to moisture, mould, pests and warping, making it ideal for heavily used outdoor spaces. Thermo ash has a subtle, elegant texture, which is why it is valued not only for its functionality but also for its aesthetics.

Hardwood decking boards are low-maintenance – periodic surface refreshing is enough to keep them visually appealing for years. Although their price is higher than that of some other thermo-wood species, it pays off in the long run, both in terms of durability and visual quality. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a reliable, aesthetically expressive, and long-lasting covering for a luxurious terrace.

When choosing a thermal wood, first consider the conditions under which the terrace will be used – whether it will be constantly exposed to the sun, rain, or under a roof. For outdoor environments, denser, more resilient species are recommended, such as hardwood terrace boards made from thermo ash. It is also essential to plan how often you can spend time on maintenance – even though thermo wood requires minimal maintenance, updating the surface helps maintain the aesthetic appearance.

Thermal wood is therefore a solution that combines naturalness, durability, and resistance to environmental influences. The special heat treatment makes the material more stable, moisture-absorbing, non-deforming, and low-maintenance. Choosing the right type and profile of wood, taking into account the location and use of the terrace, can create a functional and visually appealing space for relaxation.

Terrace boards made of thermo pine, spruce, or ash are suitable for modern urban projects as well as for quiet country houses. And if exceptional durability and luxury are key, hardwood terrace boards are worth investing in. Contact us – together, we’ll find the optimal solution for you!
