Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, low-maintenance, and stylish decking solution. The key benefit is the composite material's resistance to rot and splintering, offering a safer and longer-lasting alternative to traditional wood. A potential caveat is the initial cost compared to basic wood options. These composite decking boards feature a honeycomb structure for strength and lightness, a reversible design for style flexibility, and a non-slip surface that is safer for families.

FAQs

How does the honeycomb structure benefit the decking?

The honeycomb structure provides internal support, making the boards strong and rigid while keeping them lightweight for easier handling and installation.

Can I use these boards for a privacy fence?

These boards are designed for decking applications. While durable, they may not be suitable for vertical structural applications like fencing without a specialized support system.

What is the expected lifespan of these composite boards?

With proper installation and care, composite decking boards can last 25 years or more. They are covered by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee against rot.

Do I need to seal or stain composite decking?

No, unlike traditional wood, composite decking does not require sealing, staining, or painting to maintain its appearance or integrity.

Can I install these boards myself?

Yes, the boards are DIY-friendly and can be cut and installed using standard tools. However, ensure you follow proper installation techniques for composite materials.

How do I clean spills or stains from the decking?

For most spills, warm water and mild soap with a soft brush are sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.

What are the dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 2.2 meters in length, 146mm in width, and 20mm in depth.

Troubleshooting

Boards appear uneven or warped after installation.

Ensure proper spacing between boards to allow for expansion and contraction. Verify that the substructure is level and that boards are securely fastened at all joists.

Difficulty cutting boards cleanly.

Use a fine-tooth carbide-tipped blade designed for composite materials. Ensure the saw is set to an appropriate speed and maintain a steady cutting pace.

Surface feels slippery after rain.

While designed to be non-slip, heavy algae or mold growth in persistently damp areas can reduce grip. Clean the surface thoroughly with a mild detergent and a stiff brush.

Scratches or gouges on the surface.

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a non-abrasive pad. For deeper marks, consider using a composite deck repair kit or touch-up paint if available for the specific color.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low maintenance compared to traditional wood decking.
  • Resistant to rot, splintering, and decay.
  • Non-slip surface enhances safety, especially for children and elderly.
  • Reversible design offers aesthetic versatility.
  • Easy to cut and install with standard tools.
  • Backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against rot.

Cons

  • May have a higher initial purchase price than some basic wood options.
  • Requires specific composite deck fasteners for optimal installation (not included).
  • Can be susceptible to scratching from sharp objects or heavy furniture if not handled with care.
  • May fade slightly over time with prolonged UV exposure, though generally more fade-resistant than wood.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring structural load-bearing support beyond standard decking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Planning: Measure your space and calculate the number of boards needed. Plan your layout, considering the reversible design for your desired finish.
  2. Cutting: Use standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or jigsaw to cut boards to size. Ensure dust extraction is used as composite dust can be an irritant.
  3. Installation: Install boards perpendicular to joists. Use appropriate composite decking fasteners (sold separately) to ensure secure attachment and allow for expansion and contraction. Follow manufacturer guidelines for spacing.

Compatibility:

  • These boards are compatible with most standard deck substructures and joist systems.
  • Ensure your substructure is sound and meets local building codes.
  • Requires specialized composite decking screws or hidden fastener systems for best results.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly sweep debris. For tougher stains, wash with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: No sealing, staining, or painting is required. Periodically check fasteners to ensure they remain secure.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains like grease or oil, apply a composite deck cleaner and follow product instructions.
