Wallbarn were originally contacted by a customer near Bucharest trying to source our Ipe Timber Tiles in Romania.

He had originally wanted traditional decking but was restricted by tight threshold heights.

Wallbarn discussed the minimum heights that the tiles can work with, which was 35mm and lower than he needed go.

One of the other problems was his concern that there wouldn’t be enough room underneath the tiles to properly aerate them, as his location can experience extreme hot and cold weather.

The client wasn’t too concerned about the finished deck simply replicating the fall as it was only very gentle, and this would assist water dispersion anyway.

Wallbarn and the client settled on the fixed height 14mm Pad which ticked all boxes.

To protect against the extreme weather the tiles were then treated with a generic wood preserve on site, giving them a rich and luxurious finish.
