Product Information

Full details

The Ecoscape Forma Composite Decking Board in Flint is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance outdoor flooring solution that mimics the aesthetic of authentic timber. By utilizing a 1mm HDPE capping, these boards offer superior resistance against environmental decay, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic decks. While they provide exceptional longevity and a consistent, professional finish, users should note that the composite material can become warm in direct, intense sunlight compared to natural wood.

FAQs

Does the flint colour fade over time?

The Forma range is designed to be highly resistant to UV rays, minimizing colour change compared to traditional wood, though minimal natural settling is normal.

Can I use these boards for my balcony?

Yes, their lightweight nature and extreme durability make them an excellent choice for balconies, provided they are supported by a suitable structural frame.

Do I need to seal or paint these boards?

No. The boards come pre-finished and the HDPE capping provides full protection against the elements, eliminating the need for painting or sealing.

Are these boards slippery when wet?

The woodgrain texture is designed to provide sufficient grip, but like all outdoor surfaces, care should be taken in icy or very wet conditions.

How do I claim the 25-year guarantee?

Keep your original proof of purchase and ensure installation was carried out according to the official Ecoscape guidelines to maintain validity.

Can I use a pressure washer?

You can use a pressure washer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle at least 30cm away from the surface to avoid damaging the protective cap.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or debris in the grain

Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to scrub the surface, then rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.

Surface scratch or scuff marks

Minor scuffs often blend in over time due to the multi-tonal finish; for deeper issues, consult Ecoscape's specific repair guidelines.

Board movement or gapping

Ensure that the expansion gaps between board ends were installed correctly during the initial setup to accommodate thermal movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely resistant to rot, warp, and splinters
  • Requires almost zero ongoing maintenance
  • Authentic multi-tonal woodgrain appearance
  • 25-year manufacturer guarantee
  • Sophisticated grey flint finish

Cons

  • Surface can get warm under intense direct sunlight
  • Higher initial investment compared to pressure-treated timber
  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing frame applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard woodworking tools, though it is recommended to use specialized hidden fasteners if available for a seamless surface. When cutting the 150mm x 3000mm boards, ensure you use carbide-tipped blades to achieve a clean edge. For maintenance, a simple wash with soapy water and a soft-bristled brush is usually sufficient to remove seasonal dirt. Avoid using high-pressure jet washers at close range to prevent damage to the cap. Ensure the substructure is level and spaced correctly according to manufacturer specifications to allow for proper thermal expansion and contraction.
