The owners are now able to enjoy their private terrace which was particularly fast to install, taking just three weeks and accessing any part of the underfloor easily. Both the Client and the Architect were incredibly pleased with the final outcome and I am looking forward to using Kebony again.” Adrian Pye, International Sales Director at Kebony added: “We are delighted to be working with Mario and his talented team at Yvyra; this innovative decking system is a real feat of ingenuity and Kebony has the stability and durability to ensure the boards remain in place. We are excited to continue working with Mario and to discover how this system can be further developed.” www.yvyra.es/en/
