The Science of Materials: Preserving Natural Balau and Teak Decking

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

“A deep dive into the biocatalysts that protect and nourish natural architectural timber structures.”

Architectural hardwood decking is subjected to severe environmental stress: intense UV radiation, coastal sea spray, and microbial fungi that degrade wood lignin over time.

Conventional high-pressure power washing can be catastrophic, gouging the soft grain and leaving irreversible splintering. Green Gini uses non-abrasive rotary surface cleansers paired with biological oxygenated washes that dissolve grey fungal cell walls without stressing the timber fibers.

Once dried to optimal moisture content, we infuse organic cold-pressed Danish oils rich in UV blockers to restore the deep honeyed tones of Balau, Ipe, and Burmese Teak.
