High-quality terrace larch board for a long-lasting terrace. Although larch belongs to the conifer category, it differs from pine or spruce in its unique texture.

Advantages
Origin
Siberian larch decking boards are much harder and more durable, and their moisture resistance properties are better than local or European wood. Over time, larch retains all the properties of high-quality wood.
Quality class
Larch decking belongs to the AB quality class. It is a type of wood that meets high quality standards. Read more in the “Quality Description” section.
If quality is your priority, choose AB type boards for your terrace. This decision will pay off in the long term, as larch boards will require less effort to maintain.
AB type decking boards are a mixture of A and B type boards (ratio A – 70%, B – 30%).
Installation
The MDS Terrace Expert Team recommends installing larch terrace boards using helical foundations, CAMO invisible fixing system A2 screws. For overhead installation, choose Expandet or other types of stainless steel wood screws.
Terrace Larch Board: maintenance
There is a myth that larch boards can not be oiled – they will last “forever” anyway, or that the oil peels off larch. The truth is that quality oil does not peel, and it is recommended to oil larch. Boards prepared in this way are less prone to chipping, patterns will not appear. The oil moisturizes the wood, so it cracks less, gives color, makes the image much more aesthetic – the board does not turn gray. However, if you want an “aged wood” effect, coat the larch decking board with iron sulfate, known as greenstone, which immediately turns the wood a gray-green color.
