Product Information

Full details

The Ecoscape Forma Composite Decking Board is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance outdoor flooring solution that mimics the aesthetics of natural timber. Its primary benefit is the 1mm HDPE capping, which provides exceptional resistance against rotting, warping, and splintering, ensuring a long-lasting deck. However, users should note that as a premium composite, it requires specific installation techniques compared to traditional wood, specifically regarding expansion gaps and specialized hidden fasteners.

FAQs

Does the Argent colour fade over time?

The Forma boards are UV-stabilized, meaning they will resist fading significantly better than natural timber, though minimal, uniform weathering may occur over many years.

Can I use standard deck screws for installation?

It is highly recommended to use the official Ecoscape hidden fastener system to ensure the boards expand and contract correctly while maintaining a smooth, fastener-free finish.

How do I clean my Forma deck?

Simple soapy water and a soft-bristled brush are usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads or high-pressure washers that might mar the HDPE capping.

Is the material slippery when wet?

The Forma range is engineered with a textured woodgrain finish that provides improved traction compared to smooth plastic or wet timber.

What is the 25-year guarantee covering?

The guarantee covers structural integrity, including resistance to rot, warping, and splitting, provided the boards were installed according to official guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface dust or pollen accumulation

Use a soft-bristled broom and a garden hose to rinse away surface debris, followed by a mild detergent if necessary.

Board appears to shift or gap irregularly

Verify that all hidden fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications and check that the sub-frame joists are perfectly level.

Water spots or minor staining

Clean the affected area promptly with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid letting organic materials like leaves decompose on the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to fading, staining, and scratching
  • No annual sanding, painting, or sealing required
  • Sophisticated Argent colour adds a modern aesthetic
  • Environmentally conscious material construction
  • Significant 25-year manufacturer guarantee

  • Higher initial investment compared to pressure-treated timber

  • Requires specific hidden fastener systems for the intended finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is essential for the longevity of your Forma deck. Always ensure a minimum 5mm expansion gap between board ends to account for thermal movement. It is recommended to use Ecoscape’s dedicated hidden fastener system to maintain the clean, screw-free surface appearance. For maintenance, a simple brush-down and wash with warm, soapy water is sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or power washers at high pressures, as these can potentially damage the capping surface over time.
