What is composite decking?
Composite decking is a man-made building product that is manufactured from a unique combination of sustainably farmed wood-fibres and recycled plastic. Composite decking keeps its look and feel for far longer than timber, with substantially less maintenance. The range at Edge Building Products is available in a range of colours and has two options of composite deck board, both available on short lead times.
Where else are composite materials used?
Composite decking boards and tiles are versatile building materials that can be used in a wide variety of external features such as doors, cladding and architectural mouldings. The various compositions of composite materials allow products to be tailored to meet the needs of different market areas such as home extensions, renovations, new build properties and refurbishments. This approach to usage of composite materials, was originally taken up by the US – but very quickly, the UK markets followed suit, with the first domestic FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) doors introduced around 15-20 years ago.
What are the benefits of composite decking?
There are many benefits of composite decking, which explains why they have quickly become such a popular alternative to traditional decking materials.
Long-life decking
There’s no point in building something unless it’s going to stand the test of time. Composite decking has a long life and is constructed to go the distance. Whether they are installed in a harsh or risky environment, the composite materials are durable and resistant; able to withstand high pressure situations, blasts and fire resistance. Our composite decking range also includes all of the necessary accessories, to ensure a perfectly finished installation.
Less maintenance, more quality
With traditional decking, splitting, cracking and rotting wood is always a very real threat. Composite decking boards mean you will have a longer-lasting product that is still high quality. You may pick up a composite decking board and be surprised at its lightness in weight, but this is not an indication of poor quality. Our decking boards have been carefully designed so that they are easily handled, saving time on site by not having heavy weights to shift and install.
A distinct and appealing look
The composite decking boards we offer provide a unique and beautiful look. Their resistance to weathering and other minor defects like cracks and fade marks keep them in top condition. Our signature capped wood-polymer composite (WPC) decking boards have a timeless wood-grain appearance, for the look of wood without any of the downsides of timber decking. Engineered with a plastic cap, signature boards boast the maximum possible durability, with protection from expansion, fading and staining. The signature boards have a different colour on each side which means you can use one product to create a contrasting effect if required. Teak & mahogany are on one board and silver birch and ebony on the other.
