Why Composite Decking Is The Superior Choice Over Traditional Wood Decking

Transform your outdoor living area with high-quality Composite Decking

An eco-friendly, durable, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber decking. Our Composite Decking – 3D Embossed boards blend beauty, strength, and sustainability for a superior outdoor experience. Featuring a 3D deep embossed woodgrain finish on one side and straight grooves on the other, our boards offer versatility in design plus many more benefits. Let’s dive into why composite decking is the best choice for your outdoor space.

What is Composite Decking?

Composite Decking is a modern innovation that combines wood fibres, plastic, and a bonding agent to create a stronger, denser, and low-maintenance board. This perfect blend of natural aesthetics and advanced technology ensures a product that offers the beauty of wood without the drawbacks. Unlike traditional wood decking, which can crack, splinter, and warp over time, composite decking is designed to resist these common issues, providing a longer-lasting, more reliable solution for outdoor spaces.

How Long Does WPC Decking Last?

Composite Decking is engineered to resist wear and tear, ensuring a long-lasting, visually appealing deck. It’s highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage and is built to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure without warping, cracking, or splintering. Expansion happens with temperature fluctuations, but proper gap spacing during installation allows for this movement. Our boards have undergone a weathering process to stabilise colours for longer-lasting beauty.

Lifting objects rather than dragging them is recommended to prevent deep scratches. Avoid using metal shovels; instead, use plastic or rubber ones. Proper installation is crucial to prevent cracking. Ensure correct spacing for drainage to avoid water pooling. Any cracked boards should be replaced promptly. Composite Decking resists moisture due to the combination of recycled plastic and wood fibres. While not completely waterproof, our boards are protected with a surface that contains stain-resistant properties. With a 20-year warranty, you can be confident that your investment is protected and that your deck will last for decades.

Will I Have to Restore the WPC Decking?

Composite Decking is designed to resist stains and fading, keeping your deck looking fresh and vibrant over the years. A simple clean with soap and water using a soft bristle or rubber brush is needed to maintain your deck’s appearance. Regularly remove dirt, debris, and leaves from the decking and gaps to minimise the risk of slipping. Deep clean your decking at least twice yearly and remove snow and ice when possible. Our boards do not need to be sealed. The wood fibres and plastic polymers make them resistant to water, mould and rot.

Top Tip: Never use boiling water; warm water is recommended for cleaning.

How Do I Know It Will Look Good?

Our Composite Decking offers the look of natural wood with a 3D embossed finish that enhances the beauty of your outdoor space. The reversible boards are dual-sided, offering versatility in design. Available in Charcoal, Teak, and Grey, you can match your garden’s style perfectly. Composite Decking is available in various colours, textures, and finishes, providing consistent colouring and grain patterns. Choose the perfect length and accessories to customise your project thoroughly.

Does It Damage The Environment?

Eco-Friendly & CE Approved: Composite Decking is made from recycled materials, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Using recycled wood fibres and plastic reduces waste and creates a sustainable product that contributes to the conservation of natural resources. Additionally, Composite Decking is entirely inedible to pests and rodents, adding another layer of environmental protection.

Is WPC Decking Safe?

Safety and Comfort: Composite Decking is designed with safety in mind. The surface is slip-resistant, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet conditions. The boards won’t splinter, making it safer for families, pets, and barefoot enjoyment. Our pet-friendly, anti-splinter properties and excellent surface grip make it ideal for areas around pools and homes with children and pets. Despite its strength, composite decking is lightweight, making it easier to handle and install.
