Turning the inside out with TimberTech decking
Posted: 14 March 08
Although the use of decking in domestic gardens is a relatively modern idea, timber decking has been used for style and practicality for hundreds of years. Some of the country’s most iconic structures; from seaside piers to railway platforms have incorporated decking in their construction.
Adding decking to a garden not only creates a focal point but it effectively creates an extra room from which to enjoy good weather. The space, if well designed, can form a seamless link between the house and garden and can be an integral part of both.
Modern designers are increasingly incorporating decking into their plans for new homes and renovations. Where the conservatory was the must have improvement of the 80’s the experience of bringing the outdoors indoors has now been extended to literally incorporate the garden. Gone are the days of hexagonal glass houses, with architects opting instead to open their doors, and walls, to the outside world.
The popularity of Bi-Fold doors has enabled designers to think of the room and garden as a whole, eliminating barriers such as end windows and door frames. With the right construction entire corner sections of a room can be replaced allowing maximum access and light. By combining internal and external flooring the perception of the space is extended making a real difference to smaller conservatories, extensions and even balconies.
To ensure the whole concept works perfectly, it’s essential to use high quality materials that extend flawlessly from one area to the next. Whilst there is a plethora of high spec’ internal timber and composite floorings available today there are few that match their performance, style and durability in more demanding external areas. This has led to much scientific research and testing within both the external landscaping and construction industries, to find a product that has the resilience to withstand British weather, without compromising on appearance.
Wood composites invariably come top in these tests, with TimberTech, in particular, outperforming all timber and other composite products. The results are unsurprising as TimberTech has been perfecting production since the company pioneered wood composite materials over 15 Years ago, so all the permanence and continuity issues that newer companies are now encountering were overcome by TimberTech years ago.
The distinction can also be attributed to TimberTech’s special blend of recycled American hardwood and polymer, which gives its decking product unrivalled safety, durability and stability. It even incorporates an ‘anti-slip’ finish which makes it ideal for wet weather or even for use around pools and hot-tubs.
TimberTech is the perfect option to create that unspoiled progression from interior flooring because it utilises the patented Concealoc system so the whole area is not only simple to install, but has almost no visible screws.
TimberTech resists sun and water damage – even in coastal settings. This means that it doesn’t split, rot, crack, warp or splinter. The product’s resilience means that TimberTech is perfect for those who want to spend time enjoying their home rather than maintaining it. Unlike timber, it’s resistant to mould, moss and mildew so the only attention required is a jet wash once a year, and it doesn’t need to be replaced – an assurance backed up by the company’s 25 year warranty.

TimberTech Earthwood™ at Grand Designs
Posted: 3 March 08
TimberTech could not have wished for a better reception when they launched their exciting new Earthwood™ range at Grand Designs Live earlier this month.
Every year Grand Designs Live showcases the latest in revolutionary ideas to make the most of living space and this year was no exception.
TimberTech made its show debut at London’s ExCel Centre with a range of next generation decking products that not only make the most of the home environment, they are also kinder to the planet. Alongside TimberTech’s original decking show goers had the chance to see the brand new Earthwood™ range .This authentic looking wood alternative is available in warm, rich, Teak and Walnut to add an element of luxury and opulence to any project, allowing that tropical hardwood look without damaging the rainforest.
Visitors loved the quality and aesthetic value of TimberTech decking which, combined with its low maintenance finish and 25 year warranty made TimberTech one of the show’s must have products.
Graham from Kent was particularly impressed with TimberTech’s water resistant properties. “I love having decking in my garden” he told us “but I hate having to clean it. The prospect of having decking that mildew and moss doesn’t grow on is amazing and well worth the investment as far as I’m concerned”
Another showgoer, Sally from Buckingham agreed, “I’ve got two small children who spend almost all their time in the garden – regardless of the weather. We always have the paddling pool on the decking in the summer but it gets so wet and slippery I worry they’ll hurt themselves. I can’t believe there’s decking available that is actually anti-slip it’s going to make life so much easier!”
