Brimstone Ash

For a long time we have been selling tropical hardwood decking with a heavy heart. While we would rather not do it, we know that up until now there has been no British grown alternative that matches these timbers for visual appeal, hardness and above all durability.

Well now we have one – Brimstone Ash. This is a new product formed by super heating English ash to 210° degrees which stabilises the wood, makes it durable and turns it a beautiful dark chocolate brown. For more information see Brimstone overview page.

Thermally modified ash has been used for decking in the US for some time now and it is catching on fast across mainland Europe. Brimstone Ash is, however, the first commercially available thermally modified British ash product on the market.

If you are considering using Ipe, Yellow Balau, Garapa of any of the other tropical hardwood decks then consider this first. You can get the same performance with the knowledge that you are supporting local woodlands and without any of the sustainability worries attached to tropical wood.
