Composite decking blends recycled wood fibres and plastic to offer the natural look of timber without the traditional drawbacks. It is engineered to resist moisture, meaning it will not rot, warp, crack, or splinter. It also offers superior slip-resistance compared to wet timber and is a highly eco-friendly option made largely from recycled materials.

No, low maintenance is one of its biggest advantages. Unlike timber, which requires annual sanding, staining, or sealing, composite decking needs none of these treatments. To maintain its appearance, you simply need to sweep it occasionally and wash it down with warm, soapy water and a soft brush once or twice a year.

Installation is often faster than timber because composite boards are perfectly uniform and straight. They are laid over a standard joist subframe which creates a solid base to work from. It is also easy to cut and fix down to the subframe, therefore, overall installations are relatively easy.

High-quality composite decking features UV stabilisers and protective capping, so it will not fade to grey like natural wood. The colour remains highly stable for decades. It is available in a wide variety of finishes, ranging from modern greys and striking blacks to rich, natural wood tones like teak and walnut, allowing you to perfectly match your outdoor aesthetic.
