Product Information
Some boards undergo a natural weathering process within the first few weeks to months after installation. This process is intentional, as boards are manufactured darker to allow for natural lightening to the intended final colour.
The woodgrain texture on our boards is designed to last; however, its visual definition may lighten over time due to natural weathering. The 3D textured surface of the woodgrain remains intact, ensuring the texture, not just the colour, continues to provide aesthetic appeal.
Composite Decking can be more expensive than traditional timber due to the higher cost of materials sourcing and manufacturing costs. As well as the additional additives, which gives the Boards their range of beneficial properties. Find out more about the difference between Timber and Composite Decking Boards here.
Our Bamboo Decking is a rich, Natural colour that has a subtle woodgrain running throughout the Board. The reversible design is made up of one grooved side and one smooth side. It is recommended to install with the grooved side on show to benefit from anti slip.
Our Bamboo Decking Boards are a robust, durable and solid material that will last a considerable amount of time. The superior strength of our Bamboo Boards means you will benefit from a 10 year warranty, when the Boards are installed with our Fixing Clips per the installation guide.
We offer two lengths of Bamboo Decking Boards, these are 2.44m and 3.05m. The 2.44m Board has an approximate weight of 7.66kg and the 3.05m Board is approximately 9.58kg
Our boards are embossed, meaning the woodgrain effect is an integral part of the board’s structure and shape. Unlike printed woodgrain, which may wear away, the embossed texture is highly durable and weather resistant.
Advanced and deluxe decking boards feature a thin polymer capping that enhances UV and water-stain protection. This protective layer minimizes the effects of weathering, ensuring that both the colour and woodgrain texture maintain their quality over time.
Our products have a 5mm tolerance on widths and lengths. This is within industry standards and ensures high-quality results. For example, Tarpaflex products exhibit similar cut-size tolerances.
Joists may bow over time but can be straightened. To correct this, place the bowed section on the ground and apply weight on top to level it out before installation.
Our Bamboo Decking Boards are made from lengths of bamboo plants, which are fast growing and need little maintenance to thrive. The plant also preserves its roots when it is harvested, so they will regrow independently.
This is unlike other hardwood Decking materials which are not easily regrown, take decades to reach maturity and lead to deforestation. Due to these factors, our Bamboo Decking is a sustainable option, especially in comparison to other available wood materials.
As opposed to traditional timber decking, Composite Decking Boards are not pressure-treated. Comprising 60% recycled hardwood fibres and 40% recycled plastics, Composite Decking is resistant to rot and insect damage, meaning there’s no need to stain or pressure-treat Composite Decking.
The narrow-spaced grooves featured on our Original Composite Decking provide a low-slip walking surface by increasing water run-off in wet weather.
Yes, we have a range of eight colours in our3.6m Composite Fencing Panels. Composite Fencing Panels come with similar properties to our Composite Wall Cladding and Decking Range. Cladco Composite Fencing Posts and End Caps are also available to match or contrast your Fencing Panels. Find out more about them here.
Fibre Cement and Composite Wall Cladding have many differences. They are made of a different material, come in different colours, are installed differently and are available in slightly different lengths and widths. Fibre Cement Wall Cladding Boards offer more coverage than Composite due to the larger expanse of width each Board has. While Composite Wall Cladding is made of wood and part plastic, Fibre Cement is manufactured from fibre cement. Fibre Cement Boards are installed in a weatherboard technique, whereas Composite Wall Cladding is installed with the tongue and groove method. Learn more about both the Cladding Boards by ordering a sample here.
