Everything about our terrace composite boards

Of course – each of our distributors offers an installation service and we encourage you to take advantage of this possibility.

The optimum terrace ground for Timberness boards is a concrete screed. When installing directly on the ground, it is necessary to use concrete pillars or levelling wedges.

It is recommended to install the boards perpendicular to the building. This solution has two advantages: first, it makes the terrace look larger, and secondly – it allows you to make a slope, so that rainwater freely drains from the terrace along the grooves in the boards.

Definitely – such gaps are called expansion joints and are (depending on the type of T-Clip used) 5 or 7 mm. They are necessary because they allow the board to “work” – that is, change its volume in response to environmental factors. When installing, it is not necessary to remember to leave the expansion joints, because they are forced by the T-Clips.

The Timberness terrace system is a complete system – that is, it contains all the necessary elements, starting from boards, joists, to finishing strips and screws. The system does not contain the elements needed to prepare the ground for the terrace (i.e. concrete screed, posts, levelling wedges, etc.). The ground preparation is the client’s responsibility.

In short: better design of the terrace. Thanks to the original solution of fitting the finishing veneer, we avoid screws visible on the terrace edges.

Yes – Timberness boards can be easily cut to the required size, this does not affect the characteristics of the board.

Definitely – Timberness terrace boards can be freely cut without compromising the board's properties. To finish the semi-circular edge of the terrace, you can use a composite strip – which perfectly matches the selected colour of the board. The strip is flexible, so it can be installed on a half-round edge.

The Timberness offer includes two types of finishing strip – composite and Aluminium. The composite strip is made of the same material as the top layer of the board, so it can be perfectly matched to the selected board. It is also flexible, so it also works well with semi-circular edges of the terrace. The aluminium strip is intended for step edges – that's why we recommend using it in the construction of stairs. Thanks to the anodizing process, the Aluminium strip has increased resistance to abrasion. You can learn more about finishing veneer on the Prime and Select product pages in the Accessories section.

The choice between T-Clip and T-Clip Flat depends on what joists will be used. The T-Clip is a clip used with low and standard joists. T-Clip Flat is dedicated for Aluminium joists. It can also be used in special situations, when the customer decides to use a wooden joist (outside the Timberness system).

The advantage of Timberness boards is the use of high-quality wood. A natural characteristic of wood fibres is that they react to the sun and rain. Therefore, boards can change their colour during the first four months after installation – this period depends on the degree of exposure to the sun and rainfall. Such stabilization of wood in a composite board is called seasoning. In its first phase, there is a characteristic yellowing which lasts up to one month after the installation. Only after the seasoning is finished do the boards acquire their proper and final colour. Please note that the final colour of the board is slightly lighter than before the installation, and with time it will continue to gently lighten. This is a characteristic feature of all composite boards.

They should simply be washed – preferably using dish washing liquid that will dissolve fat. We recommend using a high-pressure washer.

Composite boards – in contrast to wooden boards – do not require any special preparation before the winter season, that means no impregnation or maintenance. You do not have to cover them or remove snow as it will not change the appearance or properties of the terrace.

A terrace made of Timberness boards can be cleared of snow, but it is important to do it gently so as to avoid scratching. For this purpose, use a plastic shovel – you mustn't use steel tools. Remove snow from the terrace in line with the grooving, i.e. the grooves in the boards. The terrace can be sprinkled with salt to dissolve snow and ice, but you should not use the so-called road salt (due to chemical additives) – regular rock salt or commonly available calcium chloride will work. We advise against sprinkling the terrace with sand or salt mixed with sand. If possible, it is good to rinse the terrace with water after sprinkling it with salt.

Salt or chlorinated water does not change the properties or appearance of Timberness boards – that's why they are a great material for coastal terraces, piers or pool edges.

In both systems – TimbernessSELECT and TimbernessPRIME – you can choose from four colours: dark brown, light brown, graphite and grey.

Yes – at the client's request, we cut the boards to the desired length. The maximum length of a board is 6.5 metres.

To finish stairs, it is best to use the Aluminium strip – it will protect the edges of the steps, because it was designed as an angle profile, and its surface has been subjected to the process of anodizing, so it has increased resistance to abrasion.

Thanks to the extensive distribution network, Timberness boards can be purchased from our representatives in almost every part of Poland and European Union.

The TimbernessSELECT board has a width of 18 cm and a height of 2.5 cm. The TimbernessPRIME board has a width of 14.5 cm and a height of 3 cm. The standard length of each board is 4 meters – however, it is possible to cut both boards down to a shorter length as well as order longer boards, the maximum length being 6.5 meters.

Composite boards – unlike wood – do not require complex care or impregnation. The only procedure necessary is washing the terrace. The easiest way to do it is to use water and plain detergent (e.g. soap or dish-washing liquid). A high-pressure washer is recommended that will allow all impurities to be removed.

The advantage of Timberness boards is the use of high-quality wood. Natural wood fibres tend to react to the sun and rain. Therefore, boards can change colour during the first four months after installation – the length of this period depends on the degree of exposure to the sun and rainfall. Such stabilization of wood in a composite board is called seasoning. In its first phase, there is a characteristic yellowing which lasts up to one month after the installation. Only after the seasoning process is complete do the boards acquire their proper and final colour. Please note that the final colour of the board is slightly lighter than before the installation, and with time it will continue to gently lighten. This is a characteristic feature of all composite boards.

Like any surface exposed to sunlight, composite boards also get heated up – however, tests show that they do not heat up more than wooden boards. One of the reasons is the chamber construction of the boards – which allows ventilation inside the board. Like any other material, dark boards will heat up more than light-coloured ones.

Yellowing of the boards in the first period after installation is a natural phenomenon, a stage of the so-called seasoning – no worries, the terrace will return to the right colour. The advantage of Timberness boards is the use of high-quality wood. Natural wood fibres tend to react to the sun and rain.

This is a characteristic feature of all composite boards. Make sure that the terrace boards are evenly seasoned – a good solution is to change the position of the furniture standing on the terrace in the first few months.

Definitely– composite boards, unlike wood, do not have splinters. The process of brushing boards also gives their surface non-slip properties – which prevents falls.
