70WOOD - THE WONDER MATERIAL FOR OUTDOORS

Dear Visitors,

Please visit our current relevant site at http://70wood.blogspot.com

Appreciate your visit.


70WOOD is manufactured via an engineering process to strengthen the inherent properties of wood, to make it last longer, resistant to pests, and better colour stability.  The final result is a highly durable material that performs wonderfully under the hands of any skilled craftsman or hobbyist.  70WOOD profiles, unlike wood, even with treated ones, you will not get termites eating your house away, and that's its greatest assurance.  You don't even need to oil or have 70WOOD painted regularly, well of course you can when you want a change of taste.....I mean colour of course.

70WOOD profiles are multi-application materials that you can use anywhere, whichever way you like.  You can use 70WOOD to construct a deck at the patio next to your koi-pond, or to replace your rusting metal fence with slat panels, or perhaps even to create planter boxes and garden benches to be used on the roof-garden.

I have people who wanted to build their own decks instead of engaging installers, and asked if they could simply purchase just the materials alone.  Indeed we are  glad to see there are still people who are passionate about creating things with their own hands.  With the pace of living at madness speed, most people have no time to create or to repair, and simply resort to engaging someone else to do the job.  DIY enthusiasts can refer to our price-list for materials and make the order.

Whether you are engaging installers or doing it yourself, you can make your inquiry from us at the following :

DECAY AND WARPS DO HAPPEN TO TIMBER DECKS & FENCES

Many of our customers already had timber decks or picket fencing done in their home when they called us. The common problem they faced is that their decks and fences are are beginning to show decay.  They have been led to believe that certain timbers are resistant to decay and warping.  That obviously happens to be not the case, at least not without the owner giving regular timber treatments.  The solution is 70WOOD profiles.

Strips of warped or decayed deck panels being replaced with
unmatching pieces, resulting in an ugly patchwork look.

We took some pictures to show some of the issues faced with timber decks and fences

We saw Chengal decks warping even though regular treatment were rendered every year over the last several years.  Loosening fasteners have caused a crakling noise as one walks across the deck.  This we discovered, is the result of non-treated keels and an inferior type of timber being used at the keel.  

Other cases show gradual warping and rotting of surface panels, and ad-hoc replacements and repairs resulted in panels having unmatching colours and tones.

Pressure from plant growth forcing the picket panels to give
way.

The use of natural timber requires regular upkeeping and maintenance.  Treatment rendered to natural timber is in itself shortlived.  Without renewed treatment, natural timber behaves simply naturally, and that is it warps and decays.

In the case seen in the picture, strong vegetation growth added pressure on the fence, and hasten the damage of the fence

While by-and-large the panels look healthy and in good shape, a close inspection reveals decay taking place with higher intensity at the supporting members.  This could be the result of lacking in maintenance of both fence and garden.

Here we can see some used timber decks being removed.  The discarded decks reveals the truth of how timbers decks are generally constructed.  Untreated surface panels were nailed to untreated keels, sanded down before timber treatment and finishing coats were applied.  The result is the underside of the decks were literally untreated, allowing the material to be exposed to all kinds of vulnerabilities like pests and moisture attacks.  Differentiation of moisture on the same material causes warp when such differentiation are exposed to different temperature levels.
