Color decking for pool surround

Switzerland

A dream patio

Brunner Zimmerei Holzbau GmbH has brought a dream patio to life at a private residence in the hills of Switzerland.

This patio impresses not only with the pool and the beautiful view, but also with the unique Accoya Color decking. The deck boards begin immediately from a back door, continue down a few steps, and then surround the entire swimming pool.

Accoya decking is ideal for use in this environment as it is highly stable and resistant to rotting, even in close and frequent contact with water. Accoya Color adds further benefits, bringing a striking grey yet natural wood board that is coloured to the core. The grey pigment will last for years to come and will only require seasonal cleaning.

Secret fixings

The Accoya Color patio even has hidden access to the pool mechanics built-in. On the near side of the decking, closest to the house where the decking is at a higher level, several deck boards are fixed to a metal frame with hinges. This allows for the entire area of the decking to be easily lifted up and the maintenance of the pool can be attended to. The use of hidden fixings here, and across the entire decked patio, means this access point is not visible when closed.

Accoya withstands all climates whilst retaining its natural beauty, even in exposed conditions such as this balcony patio. Even in the heat of summer, Accoya decking is barefoot friendly as it remains cool to touch. Accoya is also free of splinters despite being real wood. Accoya Color is grey throughout, avoiding the weathering process of natural Accoya and all other wood species.
