Environment Friendly
Silca System and Merx Pacific are dedicated to doing their part to ‘Go Green’
Common hardwood decking used in NZ including, kwila, teak, and vitex are directly sourced from the deforestation of Papua New Guinea and Amazon Rainforests . Unlike more sustainable pine used for structural building timbers, these hardwoods are from old established rainforest, take generations to grow and provide an abundant habitat for creatures large and small. To cut that down so one can have a deck seems absolutely barbaric in this day and age when we know the consequences! It is time to change our thinking around what a “deck” or outdoor living area consists of. Silca System provides a new green option with a low maintenance, low environmental impact patio/deck produced from 100% recycled materials and we even plant trees too! Silca System uses 100% recycled polycarbonate in the production of its Silca System line of products. Merx Pacific and Silca System are committed to their continued effort of being environmentally friendly and using only recycled materials for their products.

Superb Alfresco.
.
Scott and Natalina wanted to create a home with impact and the result is architectural design at it’s finest
.
Clever combination of materials including fibre cement board and vertically run dark oak provide a contrast with great appeal
.
The Alfresco area positioned at the front of the build includes a @silcasystem_nz patio over steel substructure providing a solid, durable finish with 600x900mm porcelain tile.
A great solution for this sloping site with restrictive cut and fill parameters
.
With all day sun yet shade when required, and sweeping Victorian views, this alfresco is sure to be enjoyed

During install 3mm spacers are positioned between each tile.
Once the adhesive has cured these are removed leaving a tidy ‘negative detail’ gap around each tile allowing the surface to drain freely, achieve permeability and level entry through thresholds.
.
This being the most popular installation method however grout or sanding finish can also be achieved

If your deck joists are already at 400mm centres and height tolerance allows, renovating your old wooden deck to a new Silca System elevated patio may be easier than you thought!
Here @newvision.construction making quick work of this retro fit install. Great work team 🚧

“Permeable site coverage” was a key factor with this pool install in Takapuna
.
.
The solution was Silca System grates installed over timber joist allowing a permeable, free draining pool surround finished with a stunning sandstone paver and glass balustrade.

The mission goals for this project were the client required a:
-free draining
-tiled patio
-elevated over a tight, steep sloping section.
-cost effective
-permeable site coverage
The team at Collin Flood Ltd provided that, achieving a superb result for their client.
Here, a 20mm porcelain laid directly over the @silcasystem_nz Grates using an adhesive application.
(See previous posts for progress during build)
This deck will truly stand the test of time 👌

Silca System can also be used for on-ground applications!
Combined with our I-lock Connectors, and a geotextile cloth, pavers such as flagstone or drycast can be laid with sanding.
Dead flat, stable and drainage assisting surface can be achieved with @silcasystem_nz.
Thanks to @stonedeckinnovations for the inspo 👍
