Introducing LOWDECK Australia's first GL8 Structural engineered bearers & joists treated to H4 for On-Ground use. Finally a timber subfloor solution made for Ultra-Low Decks.
Why use LOWDECK?
Framing timbers on the ground or lower than 150 mm should be termite resistant
and in-ground durability Class 1 or treated to H4 or better.
Treated to H4 with Koppers Micro® Timber Treatment Technology, Lowdeck is protected from fungal decay, termites and insect attack. Suitable for in ground use and supported by a treatment warranty of 50 years. Engineered GL8 structural grade (roughly F7 equivalent) and double sealed with a high-quality oil-based primer to provide further protection. LOWDECK is an affordable, easy to work with alternative to steel or aluminium and is a smart upgrade from regular H3 Treated pine joists.
