Although traditional timber is still used for many decking projects, its tendency to fade, splinter, warp and become slippery makes it a very high maintenance choice.
In comparison, composite decking has all the charm of traditional wood decking but without the time-consuming maintenance of its ancestor. Composite decking is more hard-wearing and a safer option than wood as it does not splinter or warp as the seasons change; it is also more slip-resistant. You can rest assured that, by choosing any of our composite products, you will end up with a high-quality deck that’s far superior to a traditional timber construction.
