FAQs

What is the main benefit of the honeycomb structure?

The honeycomb structure provides a strong yet lightweight design, making the boards easier to handle and install without compromising structural integrity.

Can I change the style of my deck later?

Yes, the boards are reversible, offering a wood grain effect on one side and a grooved pattern on the other, allowing you to switch styles.

How do these boards compare to traditional wood in terms of safety?

They absorb less water than traditional wood, significantly reducing the risk of slippery surfaces caused by mold or fungi, making them safer, especially for families.

Are these boards suitable for a DIY project?

Yes, they are DIY-friendly, easy to cut and install using standard tools, and do not split or splinter like wood.

What is the warranty period for these decking boards?

The manufacturer provides a 10-year guarantee against rot.

What should I do if I notice transit damage?

You must inspect the items for transit damage *before* signing for the delivery. Note any damage on the delivery receipt.

Can the color of the composite boards change over time?

Yes, composite shades may vary slightly after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight as the material settles.

Troubleshooting

Slight color difference between boards upon arrival.

This can occasionally occur due to manufacturing batches. Allow the boards to be exposed to sunlight for a period, as they tend to stabilize in color over time.

Boards appear uneven or warped.

Ensure the substructure is level and properly supported. Check that the boards have adequate spacing for expansion and contraction according to installation guidelines.

Difficulty cutting boards.

Ensure you are using sharp, appropriate saw blades designed for composite materials. Standard woodworking blades may not perform optimally.

Surface feels slippery after rain.

While designed to be non-slip, heavy algae or mold growth in very damp, shaded areas could reduce grip. Regular cleaning with a suitable outdoor cleaner can help restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low maintenance compared to traditional wood decking.
  • Reversible design offers two style choices in one product.
  • Safer non-slip surface reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Easy to work with using standard DIY tools.
  • Resistant to rot, splitting, and splintering.

Cons

  • Potential for slight color variation after prolonged sun exposure.
  • Requires careful inspection for transit damage upon delivery.
  • Missed deliveries may incur additional charges.
  • Composite materials can be more expensive upfront than basic wood options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These composite decking boards are designed for straightforward DIY installation. Use standard woodworking tools for cutting and fitting. Ensure proper sub-frame construction suitable for composite materials.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard decking substructure systems. While designed for outdoor use, it's advisable to consult specific installation guides for your chosen substructure to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Care:

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Sweep debris to maintain the non-slip surface. While resistant to rot and mold, regular cleaning will help preserve the aesthetic and functional qualities of the boards.
