We have gone to contract for the finish carpentry portion of the project and are hopefully working out the final details of the 5th level exterior deck scope today. I appreciate the clarity you have provided thus far, I wish everyone could be so detailed!
HDG is proud to include Kebony Decking, Cladding and Siding wood products among its eco-alternatives to tropical hardwoods. Kebony is a beautiful and sustainable wood that has properties similar to Ipé and other Brazilian hardwoods. Kebony wood decking and cladding products boast the beauty and durability of Brazilian hardwoods without the need to remove a single tree from endangered Brazilian rainforests.
This sustainably harvested wood originates in FSC-Certified forests in Norway. The wood then undergoes a patented two-part process that permanently modifies the wood cell walls. The result is a final wood product with outstanding stability and long life.
The Kebony technology is an environmentally friendly, patented process that enhances the properties of sustainable softwood using a bio-based liquid. The first step in the two-part process is to treat the wood with furfuryl alcohol, a liquid byproduct of processing sugarcane. Next, using pressure, vacuum and heat, the liquid transforms to a polymer that binds together with the cell structure of the wood. The result is 50 percent thicker wood cell walls giving the final wood product outstanding stability and resistance to decay, fungi, insects and other wood-destroying microorganisms.
Kebony Clear presents as a dark brown wood with subtle grain and free of knots.
Kebony wood is completely safe and non-toxic and can be used anywhere in and around homes or commercial and public properties. Architects and Landscape Designers choose Kebony because it is durable, stable, environmentally friendly, low maintenance, and aesthetically beautiful. Kebony wood has been used for decking, cladding, siding, flooring, privacy screens, docks, boathouse, boardwalks, terraces, rooftop decks, rain screen, stairs, benches, walkways, pool surrounds, and window trim and louvers. Use Kebony decking with Buzon pedestals to design raised terraces and decking applications that slope to drain while maintaining a perfectly level surface for furniture, people, and other objects.
Kebony Deck Board is versatile. Builders can fasten Kebony through the face of the board using stainless steel screws, use the Pro PlugⓇ system (pre-drill, counterbore, face screw and Kebony wood plug), use hidden fasteners (stainless steel screws are pre-loaded in clip for quick and easy fastening) or the Step-Clip™ for Kebony system, the fastest of the four methods. The 4-in1 wood decking profile makes it easy to secure your decking boards according to the needs of your project.

When larger dimensions are required for enhanced stability or desired for design aesthetic Kebony Boardwalk Decking is the perfect choice. Kebony boardwalk decking projects are often large commercial applications and large outdoor public spaces that experience heavy pedestrian traffic and harsh weather conditions. Kebony wood decking starts out as a deep brown color and will turn to a silvery-gray patina over time.

The Fastenator™ system uses hidden fasteners to secure the deck while preserving the appearance of the decking board’s face. The Fastenator system is easy and intuitive for installers and more easily removed for maintenance.
