Protect Your Outdoor Spaces with NLA Timber Products and Liquid Armour

A beautiful timber deck can completely change the way an outdoor space looks and feels. The warmth of the wood, the richness of its colour and the texture underfoot all add character… Whether it’s a garden terrace, a poolside deck or a favourite spot for entertaining. But keeping those surfaces looking their best takes a little care. This is particularly needed when they’re exposed to the elements. For NLA Imported Timbers, the answer lies in choosing the right materials and finishes from the start. Its range of NLA timber products includes solutions designed to enhance and protect outdoor surfaces.

A recent outdoor project paired Sandal Wood composite decking with the company’s Wood Armour™ protective coating, showing how the right finish can enhance a surface’s appearance while helping to protect it. The decking was treated with Wood Armour™ in Antique Brown, a rich finish that brings out the composite boards’ warm tones. In addition to adding depth to the colour, the coating provides an extra layer of protection to help maintain the deck’s appearance over time.

Finishing makes a real difference

In another application, NLA turned its attention to an outdoor Saligna timber table. Here, the team chose Wood Armour™ Natural to celebrate the timber’s existing character. Rather than introducing a stronger colour, the finish highlights the grain variations and the wood’s different tones while sealing and protecting the table for outdoor use. It’s a lovely example of how the choice of finish can make a difference. Sometimes a richer colour is what a surface needs; other times, the beauty lies in letting the natural material do the talking.

NLA also recently showcased its Liquid Armour™ and Wood Armour™ ranges at the Power Build Show in September, demonstrating the different finishes and applications available.
