What is Composite Decking?
Composite decking will offer a better sustainable solution than standard wood and is made from recycled plastics and FSC® certified responsibly sourced wood. This is created using both natural and synthetic hardwood blends. The process results in high-quality boards that look great and require less maintenance than traditional wood. The components are bonded to create an incredibly long-lasting inner core, designed to outlast everyday timber. Our products are designed to recreate the appearance of real wood with different colours and patterns of the grains. Composite boards are low maintenance and yet still have the natural appearance of traditional wood decks.Decks provide a great space to spend time with loved ones and connect with nature as well as boosting the value on your home. It’s no surprise that garden decking is becoming increasingly popular in the landscaping sector. New eco-friendly alternatives are more resistant that the classic timber option.
Our composite decking boards are a cost-effective and high-performance solution that have been designed to mimic the same natural look and feel of natural wood, providing a good colour and texture with a splinter-free surface. There is no need to paint, seal, stain or waterproof because our boards are engineered from a blend of hardwood and plastic making them exceptionally weather resistant and durable.
