TimberTech Decks Out New Care Homes in Yorkshire

Safe, slip resistant composite decking solution

TimberTech composite wood decking products have been used on two brand new care homes based in South Yorkshire. The Rotherham Council owned Care Homes - Davies Court in Dinnington, near Sheffield, and the Lord Hardy Court in Rawmarsh, Rotherham, feature over 1400 square metres of TimberTech composite wood decking in the external areas of the care home.

Why Specify TimberTech?

Made from a special blend of recycled hardwood and pure polymer, TimberTech composite wood deck is the perfect decking material for external areas.

Combining style and longevity, TimberTech composite wood decking resists sun and water damage. It doesn’t split, rot, crack, warp or splinter. TimberTech composite wood decking is resistant to mildew and moss and it also has an slip-resistant finish, so it’s significantly safer when wet than traditional decking. Architect for the Care Home projects Mr Steven Fryer, of Rotherham County Council stated:

“Originally traditional timber decking was specified, however the clients main criteria was that the product be slip-resistant. The initial slip-resistant product selected was deemed too slippery for the residents of the homes, and TimberTech composite wood decking’s slip-resistant qualities were tested and seen as an ideal choice for these two projects”.

Ease of Installation
Remarkably easy to install and with little waste, TimberTech composite wood decking requires virtually no maintenance, and the range is available in a variety of non-fade colours and finishes, all backed with a 25 year guarantee.

Planner Ken Allsop of Henry Boot Construction UK Ltd who worked on the Davies Court Care Home in Dinnington said of the product selection:
”TimberTech composite wood decking proved to be a cost effective solution in comparison to traditional slip resistant timber decking, it was easy to install, had excellent slip-resistance criteria, and the end user benefits from a minimal maintenance programme“.

Site Manager for the Lord Hardy Court Care Home, Chris Duffy from Mansells Build Ltd said:
“TimberTech was ideal for the Rawmarsh project as it was easy to install, kept waste to a minimum, and overall was a great product for the job”.

TimberTech have also decked out the Gibralter House Nursing and Residential Home in Monmouth, as well as First Care Nursing Home Group in Dublin.
