Park and holiday home owners enjoy a 25 year holiday with TimberTech decking

Posted: 8 March 10

Park and holiday home owners who have installed TimberTech are reaping the rewards of their superior choice of composite decking, as they begin to prepare for the holiday season and don’t have to attend to faded, creaking or split decking.

TimberTech’s 25 year guarantee ensures owners can enjoy 25 years of minimal maintenance.

Managing Director of TimberTech, Jason Cole, explains: “Because TimberTech is virtually maintenance free, owners can look forward to returning to a deck which has resisted the sun, mildew and moss, to look as good as it did the year before. They can go on holidays and not have to spend valuable time sanding, scrubbing, repairing, sealing and staining tired or damaged decking.”

Unlike conventional timber decking, TimberTech is a composite decking material which contains a special blend of recycled hardwood and pure polymers. The material composition prevents all the problems that traditional timber decking is plagued with, such as fading, mildew and splintering. Its slip-resistant properties also makes it ideal for use around swimming pools and hot tubs.

TimberTech comes in a variety of textures and colours, and comes with a choice of railing systems and accessories to create the perfect finish. Crucially, unlike other composite decks, it also doesn’t look like plastic - it looks and feels natural.

TimberTech is a member of the British Holiday & Home Parks Association.

Education sector leads the way with low-maintenance slip-resistant decking

Posted: 8 March 10

A wave of nurseries and schools across the UK have been refurbished and outdoor playing areas improved with TimberTech, a low-maintenance slip-resistant composite decking guaranteed for 10 years.

More than a thousand square meters were laid last year in nurseries and schools alone, and overall sales of TimberTech in 2009 increased by 60 per cent on 2008 figures.

Managing Director of TimberTech, Jason Cole, explains: “Unlike conventional timber decking, TimberTech is a composite decking material which contains a special blend of recycled hardwood and pure polymers.

“The material composition prevents all the problems that traditional timber decking is plagued with, such as fading, mildew and splintering. And unlike other composite decks, it doesn’t look like plastic - it looks and feels natural.”

Double figure growth is expected to continue as the awareness of how TimberTech decking offers a safe, attractive and cost-effective solution for outdoor areas in nurseries, schools and colleges raises.

Jason continues, “Educational institutions are choosing TimberTech because it resists sun and water damage. This means it won’t split, rot, crack, warp, fade, discolour or splinter. It also inhibits the growth of mildew and moss, keeping it looking new, year after year without the need for continual maintenance.”

TimberTech Helps Transform Weather Beaten Garden into Chic Beachside Retreat

Posted: 19 November 09

This Morning’s I Hate My Home & Garden recently transformed a seaside house and garden for owner Linda West. Whilst esteemed interior designer Linda Barker focused on updating the tired interior of the home, Garden Designer Sven Wombwell battled wind and torrential downpours to transform this beachside retreat at Shoreham by Sea.

The garden, which incorporated a pond and some hard landscaping features was transformed with the addition of two fabulous TwinFinish Grey decks, from a featureless, drab garden into a tranquil oasis by the sea.

Owner Linda West was delighted with the end result and said that she had now fallen back in love with her garden.

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!”
