SpecRite Pre-Oiled Kwila
Beautiful, durable and perfect for outdoor living – discover why SpecRite Pre-Oiled Kwila is the natural choice for your new deck.
Why Choose SpecRite Pre-Oiled Kwila?
Durable
Kwila, rated class 1 for durability, can last up to 40+ years above ground, resisting rot and decay when properly installed and maintained.
Stable
Timber expands and contracts with environmental changes. Kwila offers high stability, reducing risks of splitting, cupping, and twisting.
Pre-Oiled
Pre-oiled with Feast Watson® Industrial Timber Oil, SpecRite Pre-Oiled Kwila resists moisture and UV exposure before final topcoating.
Sustainably Sourced
SpecRite Kwila is FSC®-certified*, supporting responsible forestry, biodiversity, and climate resilience for future generations.
Protection starts before your deck is installed
SpecRite Pre-Oiled Kwila decking is pre-oiled with Feast Watson® Industrial Timber Oil, providing 360-degree coverage to help protect the timber from moisture and UV exposure during transport and installation. Our pre-oiled coating also helps protect the underside of your deck from moisture build up. Finish your deck on-site with your preferred topcoat.
