    Composite decking is typically made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers. This combination creates a strong, weather-resistant board that looks like timber but requires far less maintenance.

  • Why do builders choose composite decking instead of timber?

    Composite decking is popular because it is low maintenance, durable, and resistant to rot, splitting, and weather damage. Unlike timber decking, it does not need regular staining, painting, or sealing.

  • What is reversible composite decking?

    Reversible composite decking boards feature two usable surfaces with different finishes, allowing installers to choose between styles such as grooved or natural wood-grain effects.
