Decks4Life Adds
Value at WEX 1
There is just something special about wood. People love the natural
feel and warmth that timber can bring.
D
ecks4Life is proud to have been able to install more large areas where people
can gather to relax & enjoy each others company at WEX1 apartments &
Stock Exchange.
Decks4Life was overjoyed to
be selected to supply & install
decking to both atria and the large
pool entertainment area with
amazing views.
Having been part of a winning
formula at the Century City Urban
Square, we knew that Vivid
Architects, Mark Saacks Projects
and the professional team would be
looking for top quality materials and
workmanship, delivered on time.
The scope of works soon increased to include many free standing benches for the
interior designers, Tracy-Lee Lynch Studios, as well as, a number of planter boxes for
landscape architects Planning Partners.
The materials specified for use were sustainably sourced hardwoods for the decks
and locally produced, treated SA Pine for the substructure.
IPE decking, a very hard & durable hardwood was used at the ground floor entrances
which will see very high traffic.
Garapa decking was used for all other areas with the floor surfaces receiving an oil
application to nourish the wood and aide with protection from spills.
Over 650m² of hardwood decking was installed using over 35 000 stainless steel
decking screws, each of which were individually plugged to have a clean finish without
visible fixings
The experience & dedication of the Decks4Life staff showed in the planning &
installation of multiple areas. Key aspects to a quality installation include attention to
detail in mitered edges, consistent margins and straight deck planks over long lengths.
Working & communicating well with the main contractor, Haw & Inglis, we were
able to achieve our goal on time.
