Are you looking for outdoor flooring that can transform your terrace or pool area into an elegant and durable space? This type of flooring is a versatile, warm and resistant option, capable of turning any outdoor space into a unique place.
Why choose wood for outdoor flooring?
Wood not only provides natural beauty, but also offers technical properties that make it ideal for outdoor use. Unlike other materials, Yvyra’s floating wood flooring allows for flexible installation and is comfortable to the touch. With the right treatments, it increases its resistance to moisture, UV rays and adverse weather conditions.
At Yvyra, collections such as Exterpark combine design and durability, offering solutions tailored to terraces and pool edges. These decking boards not only beautify the space, but also ensure safety and comfort when walking.
Types of wood for outdoor use
When selecting floating decking for outdoor use, it is essential to know the characteristics of each type of wood:
- Tropical hardwoods (teak, ipe, jatoba): highly resistant to moisture and temperature changes.
- Treated European woods (oak, treated pine): offer good durability and are more economical.
Each option provides a long service life if installed and maintained correctly.
Treatment and protection
The use of varnishes, oils and UV protectors is essential to prolong the life of laminate flooring and maintain its natural colour. In addition, installation systems on battens or floating systems facilitate ventilation, preventing water accumulation and improving the durability of the floor.
Benefits of installing wooden decking outdoors
Choosing wooden decking for outdoor use has both aesthetic and functional advantages:
- Design versatility: It adapts to modern, rustic and minimalist styles.
- Thermal comfort: It regulates the temperature of the floor, preventing excessive heat in summer.
- Non-slip safety: Especially useful around swimming pools or wet areas.
- Durability: Quality decking withstands adverse weather conditions, maintaining its integrity and appearance.
Collections such as Natural Oak or Ipe Select by Yvyra are examples of how wood can combine strength and elegance in the same product.
Maintenance of outdoor decking
To maintain the appearance and functionality of the wood, we recommend:
- Cleaning regularly with water and neutral soap.
- Apply protective oils or varnishes according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Check the installation and adjust any movement of the boards to ensure a long service life.
Proper maintenance ensures that the decking remains in optimal condition for many years, even in very demanding spaces.
How to choose the right outdoor flooring for your outdoor space
When choosing wooden decking, consider:
- Use of space: Terraces, pool edges, gardens or patios.
- Exposure to sun and moisture: Determine the type of wood and treatment required.
- Design and colour: Choose something that harmonises with the style of your home and outdoor furniture.
The right choice will ensure that your decking remains functional and aesthetically appealing for a long time to come.
