Thermally modified wood decking delivers exceptional durability—resisting rot, insects, and decay without the use of chemicals. Through our process of heat and steam, the wood becomes dimensionally stable, reducing shrinking, swelling, and warping even in the most extreme weather conditions. The result is a decking material that’s sustainable, chemical-free, and safe for homes, businesses, and the environment. More

Robust scales, versatile and contemporary
Kyushu has a robust pattern with large scales. After the wood has been carefully charred by our fire masters Kyushu is brushed and treated afterwards. This makes the robust scales clearly visible.Kyushu is made from Pinus Radiata, a fast-growing pine species from FSC® certified forests in New Zealand.

Kyushu is a natural product. This means that individual planks may differ from one another. More
