and out with great ease and
rapidity, decreasing installation
time and improving product
features such as accessibility,
functionality and longevity.
The system features special
grooves on the underside of
the decking boards that slot
onto magnet clips mounted
on aluminium joists. There
are spacers between boards
to allow for expansion and
drainage, and blocking units
prevent movement keeping
the boards in the same place.
This pioneering system is a
straightforward technique,
which meant it took just three
weeks to install the deck of
this beautiful private villa and,
thanks to low-maintenance
Kebony wood, the deck will
not require any additional
treatment beyond normal
cleaning. The sustainable
timber is highly resistant to
extreme climates, and therefore
a fitting choice for the exposed
location of the terrace beside
the sea.
Developed in Norway, the
patented Kebony technology
uses an environmentally
friendly process, which
permanently enhances the
properties of sustainable
softwood with a bio-based
liquid derived from agricultural
crop waste. By polymerising
the wood’s cell walls, the wood
gains greatly improved
