Deck Update Alongside Outdure | Purpose One

I late discovered Outdure piece admiring the decking they had designed together with supplied for the beautiful Coast New Zealand showroom. With offices inwards NZ, Commonwealth of Australia together with farther afield, the NZ-born company is changing the way outside spaces are designed together with built both hither together with around the globe amongst their revolutionary QwickBuild system. Working across large commercial projects together with resorts through to modest residential properties similar ours, I was excited to discovery out what Outdure could create to update our deck together with arrive to a greater extent than liveable. 

Other than pigment the railing, nosotros accept done real piffling to our deck since edifice our home. In fact the focus has been almost exclusively on the interior, together with amongst summertime fast approaching, it's corking to survive live making some plans. Deciding early we'd similar to contain some seating, nosotros accept had diverse pieces of article of furniture come upwards together with acquire over the years, but goose egg has actually worked for the area. Because the deck is quite compact, my hubby together with I accept e'er loved the thought of a custom-made seating solution that would live streamlined amongst the border of the deck. We experience this would plow over a feel of permanence piece also creating amend purpose of the modest space. 

First nosotros arranged for the Outdure team to watch our habitation to await at our expanse together with utter through the options. I was actually interested to acquire close Outdure's Qwickbuild system. A modular framing organisation for decking, tiles together with turf, it has been designed equally a specialist decking solution for depression elevation installations (e.g. over waterproof membranes on rooftop decks) together with is also ideal for installation over natural ground, concrete slabs together with existing tiles or pavers. Made-to-measure past times Outdure, QwickBuild aluminium frames supersede bulky traditional timber frames amongst lightweight, durable aluminium modules together with because they are prefabricated, this greatly reduces costly fourth dimension on-site. With the sample below, nosotros were shown how the QwickBuild organisation works, amongst hidden interlocking fastenings. These back upwards Outdure's contemporary attain of surfaces, including the premium ResortDeck series, plus in-house ranges of structural tiles together with high-grade turf. Also compatible equally a highly stable together with low-profile framework for hardwood decking timbers, additional accessories include ventilation grilles, deck jacks, vertical privacy screens together with lighting.

The ResortDeck is an amazing production that combines the natural beauty together with matte goal of a freshly oiled hardwood timber deck amongst the added benefits of existence extremely durable, virtually colourfast, dimensionally stable together with tardily to maintain. How is this possible? Well, the board heart is made from 95% recyclable materials including highly density polyethylene & woods fibres. It also features a co-extruded polymer shield that completely encapsulates the board inwards an impermeable layer of protection, making the boards impervious to moisture, piece giving superior UV protection, together with scratch, fade together with mould resistance. It also way no splinters or leeching, together with no postulate for staining, oiling or painting. How's that for low-maintenance? If nosotros were to build again, nosotros would definitely purpose this for our deck. We fifty-fifty contemplated replacing our deck amongst the ResortDeck for a cohesive look, but decided to stick amongst our existing deck (as it's yet pretty new), together with focus on the seating. Because ResortDeck comes inwards half-dozen natural colours together with finishes, we were able to select an selection that would compliment our existing space. We decided on Sea Salt which industrial plant actually nicely amongst our deck's weathered finish. 

These are a few of the inspirational images I've saved over the years on Pinterest (the ikon hap correct is an Outdure project), together with a moodboard I created amongst some of Outdure ResortDeck together with Tile samples. Looking through the Outdure gallery, this procedure also got us thinking close our neglected backyard. We've come upwards away amongst some corking ideas for this expanse too!

Now getting dorsum to our deck... later talking through our seating ideas, Outdure provided imagery from some of their previous seating projects for us to consider. Deciding on a design, they together with then measured upwards the deck together with came dorsum to us amongst an initial concept drawing. From hither nosotros made a brace of tweaks around the size. We also changed the dorsum boards from vertical to horizontal amongst a slight gradient for added comfort, together with added infinite underneath the seating. Once the pattern was finalised, nosotros were sent the structure plans to sign off, together with and then it was laid upwards for the manufacturing process.  The structure plans are actually comprehensive, showing every piffling detail, therefore here's a less technical await at the finalised concept drawing.

This calendar week Outdure sent us a progress photograph which is super exciting, together with the adjacent stair is to adjust delivery! Look out for Part Two of this serial when I'll give away the novel seating.

I'll together with then live sharing the minute phase of our Deck Update inwards collaboration amongst Coast NZ, therefore continue next along.
