REASONS TO SWITCH TO COMPOSITE DECKING
Beautiful decking area can completely transform your garden and extend when you can use it through the seasons. Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) decking has made a big impact in the landscaping arena. It can be used in home gardens, as well commercial settings, and is an eco-friendly alternative to wooden decking boards boasting a much longer life. This type of deck board is made up of 95% recycled plastic and wood flour - it is this mix that makes it strong, hard wearing and rot resistant - not to mention environmentally friendly.
Why choose composite decking? Composite deck boards are considered stronger than timber planks because of their innovative construction, which gives them a longer life span. Timber will suffer damage from the elements over time, unlike the composite material that won’t warp, splinter or rot - making it comfortable under bare feet too. Being virtually maintenance free, you won’t need to continually re-stain or varnish, and will benefit from an occasional wipe down with warm soapy water, to keep it looking like new. And, with the added benefit of UV stabilisers this type of decking is less likely to fade and deteriorate. Colour options and finishes include ribbed, grooved and natural wood grain effect, so you can complement a whole range of design themes - from a rustic oak to the industrial-inspired slate grey. | |
| How do you cut composite decking boards?
