Phuket, building materials
Terrace board (decking) is a specialized material for creating outdoor flooring on open areas: terraces, balconies, verandas, pool zones, and piers. In Phuket, with its tropical climate of high humidity, intense UV radiation, and salty air, the material must meet special requirements: moisture resistance, rot resistance, protection against insects (termites, wood borers), and low thermal expansion.
For such conditions, natural wood (teak, merbau, larch), despite being eco-friendly, is not ideal—it requires regular maintenance: treatment with antiseptics, coating with oil or varnish. More modern thermally modified wood (pyrolysis) has increased resistance to rot and deformation, but its cost is high.
The optimal solution is WPC (wood-polymer composite). This material, made from wood flour and polymers (PVC, polyethylene), does not rot, does not support mold growth, does not attract insects, and requires almost no maintenance. High-quality WPC contains UV stabilizers against fading and maintains stable geometry. For pool areas, choose boards with a grooved surface (ribbed) for anti-slip properties, and for installation, use hidden stainless steel fasteners and lay the boards with a gap for water drainage.
Our store, "Stroy Thai" in Phuket, offers a wide range of WPC decking in various colors (teak, walnut, grey graphite) and profiles: both solid boards for heavy loads and hollow boards—an economical option for private terraces.
Prices start from 990 baht per sq.m., depending on the collection and profile. The price includes professional consultations on selection and material calculation.
