Finger-jointed terrace wood
Finger-jointing is a tried-and-tested wood connection in timber construction, through which individual pieces of solid wood are put together to form a longer piece of decking wood. Wedge-shaped prongs on the ends of the pieces of wood interlock and are weatherproof glued together. This can be seen on the surface of the plank, but fades into the background with weathering and the formation of the patina.
Finger-jointing offers various advantages: the wood is less prone to warping and the tree trunk can be used more efficiently, which makes the product particularly sustainable and usually also cheaper.

Our laying instructions ("terrace guide") will help you with the construction of your wooden terrace. Please read them carefully before installing the floorboards. In this way you avoid mistakes when constructing the terrace or when temporarily storing the wood. Please contact us or get professional advice if you still have questions. Of course, the terrace guide cannot cover every possible special feature of terrace construction.

I can only say positive things about the company in every respect. Everything was perfect from the first contact to picking it up. I never had the impression that I was being charged in any way, everything was very fair and professional. With Mr. Jäger I would also have a very pleasant conversation partner with good tips and advice. When I picked it up in Nümbrecht, I was even able to exchange a few floorboards. I would definitely order dorr again, even if the construction of the deck is still pending, but I'm responsible for that myself.
Thank you Betterwood, Mr. Jäger and Mr. Köting in Nümbrecht.
