Why choose composite?

Composite decking is the modern alternative to timber decking, the advantage being that it does not rot or warp and is virtually maintenance free. WPC decking (Wood Plastic Composite) is made from wood fibre, virgin polymer and a binding agent, so the result is denser, harder and heavier than wood alone. This means that there is no danger of splinters and, since the composite will not host the growth of algae, it is anti-slip even in the wet. This makes it ideally suited to use in commercial and public areas as well in private residential use. Composite decking planks look like wood and they can be worked like wood, but unlike wood they do not need to be protected from water ingress which makes them naturally more suited to outdoor use.

Is composite decking difficult to install?

Composite deck boards are as easy to install as wood. In addition, each board is manufactured to precisely the same size, creating a completely uniformed decked space that requires very little maintenance and will last a lifetime. The sub-deck frame can be laid over an uneven surface with ease, as the supporting joists and footers are designed to be fully adjustable and connect to the surface and facia boards with optimum precision. As every space is different, it is likely that the boards will need to be cut to suit. This can be done by using standard woodworking tools – so there is no need to invest in bespoke tools to get the job done.

These FSC® (FSC-C009500) certified boards are made in Europe in a state-of-the-art, environmentally aware facility which is run by solar energy and where they use stored rainwater for cooling during the manufacturing process. The boards are of solid construction, are made entirely from recycled wood and plastics, and are themselves fully recyclable.
