What makes Composite Decking the next big trend in home design

What makes Composite Decking the next big trend in home design?

Composite decking has many advantages over natural timber decking, making it the new go-to for home-owners to create a usable outdoor space.
Lock-down and the pandemic seem like a distant memory, but this period gave us all time to take stock and look at what we have around us and enjoy our outdoor space – however large or small. The installation of a decked area gives a great place to sit and relax, eat, entertain and just enjoy the space.

What are the main benefits of composite decking compared to timber?

There are many benefits of installing Composite decking. We have given some of the main ones below:

  • Easy to install – no more labour-intensive than installing a timber deck and using the same foundations, subframe and tools, our composite deck systems are installed using our unique hidden fastening system. Each fixing kit comes with starter clips, T spacers and screws.
  • Durable – Long lasting and not prone to splintering, splitting, warping or rotting, composite decking is usable and will look great for a long period of time.
  • Low-maintenance – Unlike timber, composite deck boards do not require staining or painting. On average, a timber deck can use 28-32 hours of labour during a year on general upkeep with the need for cleaning, re-painting or staining and general maintenance. Composite decking on the other hand is just 2-4 hours to wash over with some soapy water, a soft brush and hose it down, saving time and money.

  • Sustainable – manufactured from 100% FSC recycled hardwood and recycled plastic, composite boards are a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. This along with our pledge as a company in our partnership with Ecologi to fund the planting of trees across the global as part of a universal reforestation plan to help combat climate change makes our composites the Eco friendly choice.
