5/4 X 4 X RL Balata Decking S4S E4E (Net Size 1" x 3-1/2")

The Maximo Hardwoods 5/4 x 4 Balata Decking Board (S4S E4E) combines premium quality, durability, and beauty for high-performance exterior projects. Known for its density and natural resistance, Balata (often grouped with Red Balau species) is a tropical hardwood prized for outdoor use where strength and longevity are critical.

Milled to surfaced four sides (S4S) with eased four edges (E4E), this decking board delivers smooth, consistent surfaces and safe handling. With a net size of 1" x 3-1/2", the format balances durability with an elegant, narrow-plank aesthetic, perfect for residential and commercial decking applications.

Balata’s rich reddish-brown tones and fine grain provide timeless appeal. Over time, boards naturally weather to a silver-grey patina when exposed to the elements, or they can be treated with oil to maintain their deep, warm hues.
