P

rior to their expansive deck

revamp Queensland homeowners

Tim and Julie were captive to a

maintenance regime that had them

beat. “Brisbane regularly exceeds 30

degrees in summer and we had to

re-stain the timber decking at least

twice a year to keep on top of sun

and moisture damage,” says Tim.

EASY MAINTENANCE

After looking into the alternatives, the

couple decided on the HardieDeck™

decking system, a fi bre-cement-based

timber alternative that doesn’t rot or

require regular maintenance. “I knew

instantly it was what I wanted,” he says.

GOOD

LOOKS

With HardieDeck™

promising an easier lifestyle, Julie and

Tim decided to replace all 60m2 of

paving and the area around the pool.

Then there was the icing on the cake:

by choosing a timber-fi nish stain,

the pair got the traditional wood look

they were after.

FUTURE PERFECT

“I’d thoroughly recommend

HardieDeck™ to anyone who’s after that

traditional look without all the upkeep it

entails – now there’s more time for us to

relax and enjoy life!”
