Abstract
Solid timber decking is a natural choice, with the combined virtues of pleasing appearance, cost effectiveness in use, and structural function. It provides a natural timber ceiling, which spans clear between main structural members. It can be installed quickly and economically by nailing to the building structure. Timber decking has good insulation properties, and secondary fixings are readily attached to it. Proprietary Class 1 Spread of Flame treatments can be also be applied to the decking in-situ but only when the building is, and will remain, dry.
