Vastern Timber has unveiled Brimstone, the first commercially available thermally modified British timber, at Ecobuild 2016. Sourced exclusively from English and Welsh woodlands, the Brimstone range is ideal for cladding, decking, external joinery and furniture, and includes thermally modified ash, sycamore and poplar.

A manufacturer of patented aluminium open grilles has tapped into widespread demand for a more practical alternative to traditional timber decking.

Introducing the very latest generation of composite decking technology- the super-low maintenance TimberTech EasyClean range.

High load and impact resistance; extreme wear and scratch resistance; frost and fireproof; colour fast and extremely resistant to staining; resistance to mould and algae growth – these qualities ensure an extremely low maintenance and trouble free flooring solution. And now with co-ordinating internal tiling available allowing for seamless visual transition between internal and external spaces.
