Why choose composite decking?

Composite decking is a great timber alternative

Since decking made its debut as the hard landscaping substitute for outdoor areas, it’s fair to say that this modern, attractive alternative has been embraced by garden enthusiasts across the UK to create contemporary spaces for gardens and open spaces.

Whether you’re a green fingered god/goddess or you just appreciate some fresh air after a long day, adding decking to an outdoor area will create a warm and welcoming space to relax, entertain and unwind.

Historically, decking has been manufactured from softwoods which required regular maintenance and treatment. More recently the introduction of pressure treated timber has resulted in a more robust decking that provides added resistance to wet and icy conditions as well as fungus and rot. 

While wood is still very much on the market for those who favour traditional timber structures, there are some downsides. Most notably, using timber material will mean your decking will need regular maintenance for the length of its lifespan. 

If you’ve always wanted to put decking down in your outdoor space, but you don’t like the idea of the associated maintenance and upkeep of real wood, then help is at hand with a cost-effective, durable and eco-friendly alternative - composite decking. 

What is composite decking?

Composite decking combines all the visual beauty and feel of real timber, but with the added benefits of longevity and low maintenance.
