Frequently Asked Questions – Wooden terrace fit-out in Belgium
What is the best wood for an outdoor terrace in Belgium?
The best wood for an outdoor terrace depends on your budget, exposure to sun or moisture, and the desired aesthetics. In Belgium, exotic woods like ipe, cumaru, or padouk are highly valued for their natural durability and weather resistance. Treated European woods (pine, douglas) are more economical but require more regular maintenance.
Is a wooden terrace durable in the Belgian climate?
Yes, provided you choose a suitable species (class 3 or 4 minimum) and follow proper installation practices (ventilation, water drainage). A well-designed and well-maintained terrace can last between 20 and 30 years, or even longer for exotic woods.
What is the average price of a wooden terrace in Belgium?
The price of a wooden terrace in Belgium ranges from 90 € to 170 € per square meter including tax, installation included. This price depends on the wood species, the type of structure (posts, slab, raised), and the finishes. Exotic wood is more expensive to purchase but offers superior longevity and stability.
Is a permit required to build a wooden terrace in Belgium?
Generally, a non-covered terrace less than 80 cm high and attached to the house does not require a permit in Wallonia and Brussels. Beyond certain dimensions or if the terrace is covered or raised, an urban declaration or permit may be required. Avenir Rénovations Belgium assists you with these procedures.
How to maintain a wooden terrace to keep it looking good?
Regular maintenance helps preserve the aesthetics and longevity of your terrace:
- Cleaning with clear or soapy water 1 to 2 times a year
- Application of a saturator or protective oil if you want to avoid natural graying
- Checking the stability of the structure and possibly replacing fasteners
Our experts can offer you annual or seasonal maintenance, tailored to your type of wood.
