Wooden Flooring and Its Ten Uses in Outdoor Environments
Wooden flooring is made from wood, a unique natural material used in designing and building living spaces. Aesthetically, wood is used as a complementary color for interior spaces with its natural patterns and colors. Because trees grow organically, it is the only major building material in the world with the natural ability to regenerate. Harvesting timber for construction purposes helps preserve the carbon it absorbed during the growth process within the wood tissue, which in turn contributes to global environmental balance and reduces climate change.
Wood used in the construction industry is classified into two categories based on usage location:
Wooden flooring wood: This type of wood is used in flooring.
Cladding wood: Wood used in facades and ceilings, known in Iran as facade wood.
What is Decking?
Wooden decking is used as outdoor flooring. This type of flooring has greater density and durability than thermal wood and is classified among hardwoods. This category includes all types of woods with living texture, and thanks to this feature, it can show great resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, sunlight, rain, and others. The high durability of hardwood allows it to be used even as flooring for ship decks and in the harshest weather conditions. For this reason, this type of board can be easily and confidently used in cities with high humidity, such as northern and coastal areas. The 10-year warranty on these boards is proof of their high resistance. On the other hand, the smooth texture of these boards, along with adjusting the internal moisture of the wood to the surrounding environment, reduces the likelihood of bending or cracking at low temperatures.
Spaces where wooden decking can be used:
Exterior: Terrace wood, Patio, Pergola wood, Around the pool, Roof garden wood, Balcony wood
Wooden benches, Arbor wood, Outdoor flooring
Interior:
Around the pool, Inside the sauna, Around the jacuzzi

Important Points to Consider When Implementing and Installing Wooden Decking
How to Install and Implement Wooden Decking by Darkoob Company:
The innovative installation and implementation method of wooden decking from “Woodpecker” is a qualitative leap in the world of wood installation. The work is done without visible screws, which, in addition to the stability and durability of the overall structure (thanks to installing each branch individually), adds exceptional beauty and craftsmanship that is noticeable in the final installation of roof garden wood and balcony wood.
How to Connect Wooden Decking to the Base Structure
Using screws is better than nails in the decking installation process, as screws fix the wood in place more securely and prevent deformation of the wooden decking (flooring). On the other hand, when wood replacement is needed, screws allow this without damaging their texture. For this reason, only screws are used in the Softline system to connect clips to the base structure. Fixing the decking board directly from the wood surface in sections is the strongest method for installing wooden decking.
Hidden and Durable Wooden Decking Installation System
In the Softline installation system, air flow moves freely between the decking branches, allowing the wood to undergo its natural changes without damage. Wooden decking implementation by Darkoob Company:
This system, used in various types of wood branches mentioned and all guaranteed for more than 25 years, offers a 100% unique and beautiful system for your balcony, terrace, or roof garden. The Softline system is characterized by its stability and high resistance thanks to its special installation method and unique clips.
We are the sole inventors and manufacturers of the Softline system, a patented wooden decking installation system. Thanks to this method, joints are hidden, and the decking wood becomes extremely resistant to damage. Now, the experience and research of International Woodpecker Company answers all important questions in the field of installing all types of wooden decking.
Softline System Features:
Installation on the base without visible screws.
The flooring material is made of composite materials with very high mechanical resistance, ensuring system quality.
Wood flexibility (flooring) against expansion and contraction, and its ability to return to its original state after pressure (unlike steel).
No need for drilling or making holes for installation (decking wood).
The space between branches allows boards their natural lateral changes, preventing wooden decking damage.
Each branch is fixed to the base without sticking to each other.
Ensures long-term durability.
Wooden decking installation time should be significantly reduced.
The possibility of connection between tree trunks prevents branch bending.
Air flow passes easily through the outdoor flooring.
Hidden-mounted wooden frames make the overall structure extremely strong. You can view an example of wooden decking installation in the wooden board installation section.
The damaged branch can be removed from any part of the balcony, deck, pool surface, or stairs and replaced with new wood, making the cleaning process easier.
Sanding and Polishing Wooden Decking
After installing wooden decking, and to clean it and make it more durable, the board surfaces are completely sanded and oiled. To maintain its beauty and quality, extending its lifespan, this process is carried out annually.
Due to the popularity of indoor and outdoor wooden decking (wooden flooring) in recent years, especially for outdoor flooring, wooden decking sales have achieved great success in the country, due to its reasonable price and installation cost. On the other hand, considering the type of decking wood and its required quality, this market is experiencing continuous growth, and the number of wooden decking purchase requests is gradually increasing.
Darkoob Company has acquired the sole official representative of Wedi Luxembourg Company in Iran, the necessary knowledge and skills in the field of designing and implementing various types of European and foreign wooden decking, benefiting from years of continuous work experience.
