Terrace Frame: What Type of Slats to Use for a Long-Lasting Result?

ESSPO Wood thermally modified wooden slats are made from carefully selected pine or spruce wood, which undergoes a special thermal treatment process to achieve high resistance to environmental influences. These battens are particularly resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and adverse weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor structures such as terrace frames. Thermally treated wood is less prone to deformation, expansion, and shrinkage, ensuring the frame remains stable for an extended period. Additionally, this process makes the wood more resistant to rot and pests, significantly extending its service life compared to conventional wooden boards. ESSPO Wood boards have a natural, warm colour and a smooth surface, giving structures an aesthetic, modern look. These boards are not only functional, but also give the terrace a natural beauty and warmth.

ESSPO Wood thermally treated wooden beams are incredibly versatile, so their use is not limited to terrace frames. These wooden slats are ideal for facade structures, outdoor furniture manufacturing, or other building structures that require strength and resistance to environmental influences. Gotland ST series slats are manufactured without the use of chemicals, making them an eco-friendly option. This wood is safe for both people and the environment, allowing it to be used with confidence in both private and public projects. In addition, the natural shades and texture of wooden slats give structures an aesthetic, warm, and modern look, while their durability ensures that the investment will pay off in the long term.

When selecting wooden beams for the terrace frame, it is essential to consider their dimensions and intended purpose. ESSPO Wood offers beams of various sizes, with a thickness of 42 mm, a width ranging from 42 to 140 mm, and a length of 2.7–5.7 m. Properly selected dimensions help ensure the stability of the structure and easy installation. For example, narrower boards are ideal for lighter frames or decorative structures, while wider boards are better suited for larger, load-bearing frames. The length is selected according to the area of the terrace or other structures to minimise the number of joints and make the work more efficient. Properly selected wooden battens not only help to save material but also ensure a strong, reliable, and durable frame. Additionally, battens of optimal dimensions facilitate easier installation and maintain the uniform aesthetic of the structure.

One of the main advantages of ESSPO Wood thermo wood boards is their resistance to environmental influences. These wooden boards tolerate moisture, temperature fluctuations, and unfavourable weather conditions very well, so the terrace frame remains stable and reliable for a long time. Thermally modified wood is less prone to deformation, expansion, and shrinkage, so the structure requires less frequent maintenance. However, to preserve the natural beauty and aesthetic appearance of the wood, it is recommended to renew the surface by oiling or using special impregnants periodically. This simple maintenance ritual helps protect the wood from the sun and moisture and reduces surface wear. Investing in high-quality wooden slats pays off because the structure remains strong, safe, and visually appealing for many years, regardless of outdoor conditions.
