What Makes Balau Wood decking worth Considering?
Balau wood is a dense, tropical hardwood commonly used for outdoor wooden decking.
Sourced mainly from Southeast Asia, it’s known for its strength, durability, and rich golden-brown colour.
Thanks to its natural oils and tight grain, Balau resists moisture in Gauteng, insects, and heavy foot traffic—making it ideal for harsh weather conditions.
It’s a hardwood that doesn’t just look good, it performs well too. Over time, Balau weathers to a silvery-grey patina if left untreated, but many prefer to oil it to preserve its warm tone.
In short, if you’re in the market for a solid, reliable choice for long-lasting, natural wooden decking, this is your go to.
They also come in yellow Balau or red Balau options.
Suited for South African Climates
It also holds its shape well.
That means less warping and cracking over time—something that’s especially handy in South Africa’s on-again, off-again weather.
Does Balau Wood Look Good?
Visually, Balau’s got that warm, golden-brown tone that ages gracefully. Leave it to weather naturally, and it’ll take on a silvery hue.
Prefer to keep the original colour? A light oil now and then helps maintain the glow.
But here’s the thing—it’s not just pretty.
The grain is tight and consistent, which makes the finish look clean and neat no matter how big or small your deck is.
