Why Palm Wood Decking is "Eco" Important?

Till today, many people have still considered making of outdoor and indoor decks using tropical hardwood timber such chengai or merbau wood materials. This growing demand has created massive deforestation and illegal logging. The earth temperature has risen as a result of the world's spiral greenhouse effect. Still, many trees have been cut down to satisfy the growing demand for timber decking worldwide.

Palm wood decking can help save the forests.

Palm wood trees has traditionally been used to produce palm oil, palm sugar and other edible products. As the demand for palm oil increases, more & more farmers in developing countries started to increase in numbers as well. This growing number of plantations has hence resulted in the increase in the number of retired palm wood trees. (that is aged trees that could no longer produce enough fruits). To prevent wastage and encouraging the renewal of palm tree natural resources, palm wood is then used for building furniture, outdoor and indoor decking.

Many individuals and corporations around the world who are concerned about the Eco environment have started to use palm wood flooring for their homes and workplaces.  However, it is still a far cry from getting more people to understand the importance of using palm wood decking to traditional hardwood decking materials.

Palm Wood is not just an Eco Friendly floor product too.

Palm wood decks have exquisite natural wood texture that beautifies the surroundings. Its has a natural protection against insects attacks. This is unlike solid timber decking, which requires heavy maintenance against insects in the long run. Another individuality about the characteristics of palm wood is that it does not rot easily.

Palm wood has high dimensional density, what it means to the owner is that it has one of the highest resistance to all weather such as rain and shine especially if you want to install it outside.

Natural palm wood surfaces has also enough friction to prevent slipping accidents. This is very important for decking and making patios because of its frequent contact with water and rain. Therefore, palm wood is an exceptional choice for people who considered to build outdoor decks.

The other benefit of palm wood decking is because it requires zero nail down installation approach. In which, it creates a safe environment for children to run "wildly" (you will understand this when you have kids) on it without getting cut by nails.

A typical small patio that uses palm wood decks instead of solid hardwood timber, can save you a few 'endangered' trees. In time to come, when people are beginning to realize the importance of preserving our environment, palm wood decking demand will therefore start to increase eventually.
