What’s different about IKAIKA DECKING?
It’s in the name.
Ikaika: Strong, powerful, sturdy, stalwart, potent; strength, force, energy, might, vigor, determination
IKAIKA DECKING is the NEW pressure treated wood available at Honsador.
Most pressure treated product is a hemlock fir mix, which is known for twisting and cupping – not ideal for a decking material. IKAIKA DECKING is made to survive the harsh Hawaiian climates – persistent sunlight, heavy rains and close proximity to salt water – by combining an advanced pressure treatment process to Douglas Fir, an extremely resistant, durable wood with a lifespan of more than 20 years. You’ll be able to relax and enjoy your deck for years to come, knowing it is also resistant to fungal decay and termites.
IKAIKA DECKING not only lasts as long as cedar, but it’s treated to guard against fungal decay and termites. How does it compare against cedar? Less money, more protection. IKAIKA DECKING offers the beauty of wood that you’ll enjoy for decades!
