The news has been talking up a great summer ahead of those Bank holidays and upcoming garden parties. Now is the time for Annika to get the garden updated.
After visiting Kristina’s beautiful summer cottage in Kalmar, South Sweden, her decking looked amazing and the contemporary look was as strong as the day it was laid a few years ago. The decking had aged naturally to enhance the feeling of a renewable and sustainable deck.
Kristina gave Annika the Linax name and she was overjoyed to find that it is now available in the UK.
Many may not be aware of the superior abilities of the Bitus-made Linax-treated timber. In this blog, we’ll give you the science behind this innovative and sustainable wood that has been designed to prevent rot from ruining your decking and cladding.
This is the impressive bit. The process that Linax-treated timber goes through is what makes it durable, sustainable, and perfect for any kind of cladding and decking requirements. Tough enough for wind battered buildings, and anyone’s busy summer schedule.
Made from FSC-certified redwood from Sweden and treated with hot linseed oil in a vacuum tank. The timber is carefully turned, meaning the oil penetrates all surfaces.
And what are the results of this double-preservation process? Well, a stable wood, providing superior longevity and colour retention.
The treatment is so effective, Linax provides a product and rot warranty that rivals any composite alternative and is as competitive as Siberian Larch or Western Red Cedar.
It looks great
Quite simply, Linax lasts longer and looks just as good as its rivals. Available in 3 finishes, Linax Brown and Linax Grey finishes, unlikely all other timber species, are designed to keep their colour, while the Linax Natural is designed to fade into a silver hue over time.
It lasts for a long, long time
The product and rot guarantee of the Linax range is on par with its composite competitors. The decking range boasts a 12-year product warranty and a 50-year rot warranty. And the cladding timber holds a 12-year product and an incredible 50-year warranty.
Minimal maintenance
Not only does it last longer than other timber options, but it also requires very little maintenance. The decking has a maintenance interval of 5-6 years, while the cladding option is every 12 years.
A reputation for sustainability
The longevity of Linax-treated timber alone means it is environmentally friendly. A longer lifecycle allow Linax decking and cladding to store carbon dioxide for longer. It is made from FSC-certified Swedish redwood, which of course, comes with a host of environmental, social, and economic guarantees.
