Decking of bangkirai

[Vildebill]

Okay, it turned out well in the end! Probably a lot of ingrained dirt that improved after the second round.

There are many small areas but I was thinking of possibly complementing with the rotborste there.

The balcony is about 12 years old, but washing and then oiling the mahogany railing makes it like new. I only wash the Kirai decking, no oil, I did it one year but it became so dark.

You were right about the pressure washer! The material is really rock hard, stood 10cm away on a few surfaces you don't see clearly and nothing happened.

Hello!

Those of you who have a deck made of bangkirai, how satisfied are you with your choice of deck? Does it live up to your expectations? How has it aged? Any other input perhaps?

Hello, we are not satisfied because many of the bangkirai boards are uneven and have splinters at the edges. I don't know if we received a second sorting of bangkirai boards, but after we complained, k-rauta replaced 1/3 of the deck, and these new boards were smooth and nice. In other words, it's important to be involved before the boards are laid by the carpenter so that you can immediately set aside the ones that are bad. Difficult to do afterwards. Expensive and poor quality.

Hi! Didn't the carpenter check all the boards before laying them?

Hello! Didn't the carpenter align all the boards before laying them?

No, the carpenters didn't check the boards that carefully and we noticed it only after everything was installed. We're now in a dispute with the construction company, reclamation, and they refer to K-rauta, who in turn refers to Kärnsund. A seller at Kärnsund replied that the Bangkirai decking had the quality that was promised. He also thinks that the inspector's report lacks a detailed description of the defects. In the report, the inspector wrote that the wood is of subpar quality and should never have been installed. Photos of the decking have been attached to the report. It could become a case for ARN, etc.

At worst, it will be a case with ARN, etc.

That's unfortunate! It sounds crazy for Kärnsund to oppose an inspection, what do they have to gain from it? If you take the case to ARN, it will be clear.

However, it's probably K-Rauta you need to file the claim against, as it's K-Rauta that procured and sold the decking to you, typical behavior to refer to subcontractors.

I don't know if we received a second sorting of bangkirai boards, but after we complained, K-rauta replaced 1/3 of the decking, and these new boards were smooth and fine. In other words, it's important to be present before the boards are laid by the carpenter so you can immediately set aside the boards that are bad. Hard to do it afterward. Expensive and bad.

Hello! How did it go for you? Did you get the boards replaced?

 

[Vildebill]

The forces of nature in a year certainly do quite a bit! Before/after where I've had a cushion box standing since last time

I will start a wash today and will upload after pictures later so you can see the result!

Okay, a little better but not completely satisfied!

That's it for this time! After it dried out and the sun had a couple of days, it got better. But what happened with michael hubbert?

 

[Vildebill]

After cleaning, I applied a Demidekk stain in burmateak, it looks like new!

Does anyone know if dust/sawdust from bangkirai flying around is harmful when inhaled? It's probably never good no matter the wood type, but is this something specific?
