Full details

The Forma Composite Decking Board in Midnight is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, low-maintenance outdoor space that mimics the aesthetic of natural timber without the associated upkeep. Engineered for longevity and durability, this board is perfect for high-traffic decks or areas exposed to the elements, though users should note that the dark finish may absorb more heat in direct summer sunlight compared to lighter-colored decking options.

FAQs

Does the board require sealing or staining?

No. The 1mm HDPE capping protects the board, so it never needs to be stained or sealed.

Can I use standard wood screws to install these boards?

It is recommended to use specific composite decking fasteners or clips to ensure the best finish and to allow for proper movement.

What is the primary benefit of the Midnight color?

Midnight provides a high-contrast, modern dark grey/black look that pairs well with contemporary home architecture and vibrant outdoor furniture.

Is this decking slippery when wet?

Like most composite materials, it is designed with a texture to provide grip, but always exercise caution on any outdoor surface during wet or icy conditions.

What does the 25-year guarantee cover?

The guarantee generally covers structural integrity, including resistance to rot and fungal decay, provided the boards are installed according to official guidelines.

How do I remove grease or food stains?

Clean the area as soon as possible using warm water and a mild dish detergent to prevent the spill from setting into the grain.

Troubleshooting

Surface appears dusty after installation

This is normal construction residue. Simply rinse the deck thoroughly with water to clear off any dust.

Surface feels hot underfoot in summer

Dark-colored composite materials naturally absorb heat. Consider placing a patio umbrella or outdoor rug in high-traffic areas to mitigate surface temperature.

Board movement or gaps appearing

Ensure that the recommended expansion gaps were left during installation as per the manufacturer's spacing guidelines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot, mold, and warping
  • Requires virtually no maintenance
  • Safe and splinter-free surface
  • Extremely long lifespan with 25-year warranty
  • High-end, modern aesthetic

Cons

  • Dark color may retain significant heat in direct sun
  • Heavy material requires proper structural framing
  • Higher initial investment compared to pressure-treated timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard woodworking tools but must be performed according to manufacturer guidelines to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Ensure that the substructure is level and spaced correctly to support the weight of the composite boards. For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that might dull the HDPE cap. For stubborn stains, a light pressure wash on a low setting is usually effective, provided you maintain a safe distance to protect the finish.
