Happiness is a Red Balau Deck

Jason and his team were super helpful with advice on how to install my deck using the QuickClip hidden fasteners. We did have to screw and plug most of the end joints to keep the boards straight.

We installed and finished our 2x12 and 2x6 Batu dock trim boards last October using ExoShield Walnut. After seven months, the material still looks perfect. Wow! This stuff really does last. All my previous experience has been with Penofin's Hardwood Formula. This finish blows it away. Thank you!
