Composite decking might not have always been everyone\u2019s first choice for their decking project, but recently that\u2019s all changing, as more and more of our customers here at Savoy Timber are finding out about the many advantages that composite decking<\/a> has to offer. If you\u2019re sizing up your own garden for your next decking<\/a> project \u2013 and with a UK heatwave on the way, there\u2019s no better time \u2013 it\u2019s well worth getting yourself up to speed!<\/p>\n

Here are our top 6 advantages of composite decking:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Low maintenance and ready to use<\/li>\n
  2. Durable and hardwearing<\/li>\n
  3. Economical and cost effective<\/li>\n
  4. Environmentally friendly<\/li>\n
  5. Its exceptional safety value<\/li>\n
  6. Its amazing aesthetics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So\u2026ready to find out more?<\/p>\n

    1. Low Maintenance and Ready For Immediate Use<\/h2>\n

    Installation of composite decking is famously quick and easy, since its artificial makeup means there\u2019s no need to stain, sand or paint the material before installation. The benefits here are twofold, as once it\u2019s been put together and completely installed, it\u2019s also brilliantly low-maintenance. It needs very little in the way of re-staining or additional protection, as it stands up well against the elements. For example, composite decking is waterproof, so it doesn\u2019t rot. All told, it\u2019s a very low-hassle solution!<\/p>\n

    2. Its Longevity and Exceptional Durability<\/h2>\n

    \"rain<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ve probably already worked this out for yourself, but the fact that it bypasses a lot of the normal environmental wear and tear that regular decking is subjected to means that composite decking is reliably hard-wearing, with a notably strong durability. Obviously the exact duration of its serviceable life can vary depending on both what it\u2019s used for, and how often its used, but you can rest easy in the knowledge that once your purchase your composite decking, you generally won\u2019t have to think about replacement boards for years to come.<\/p>\n

    3. It\u2019s Economical (And Easy On The Wallet)<\/h2>\n

    Its combination of low maintenance and durability means that composite decking is also notably cost-effective in the long run, even if it might have a higher initial cost. Trust us, over time it quickly starts to level out in all the time and money you save on maintenance! Composite decking doesn\u2019t warp or split for example, and doesn\u2019t lose its colour as quickly as wood potentially can. Your Chesnut Brown composite decking or Autumn Brown composite decking boards. for example, will stay looking just as good as the day you bought them. As we\u2019ve mentioned, replacement boards aren\u2019t an issue you\u2019ll regularly have to face!<\/p>\n

    4. It\u2019s Particularly Safe For Friends And Family<\/h2>\n

    \"children<\/p>\n

    Composite decking is specifically designed to be splinter free and slip resistant, which makes it a great choice for families, as more excitable members (like pets and children) are far less prone to slips or injuries than they might be otherwise. It\u2019s also this quality which makes composite decking an ideal choice if you\u2019re planning to host lots of events or social occasions on your decking, minimising the chances of accidents even in larger groups.<\/p>\n

    5. It\u2019s Environmentally Friendly<\/h2>\n

    The artificial makeup of composite decking means that (obviously) it uses fewer natural materials than wood decking does. Now, here at Savoy Timber we\u2019re very strict about only getting our wood from sustainable sources anyway, but even so it still makes composite decking a particularly attractive choice for our most environmentally-conscious customers.<\/p>\n

    6. Its Amazing Aesthetics (With A Wide Range Available)<\/h2>\n

    \"composite<\/p>\n

    This one may well be obvious for anyone who\u2019s tried composite decking before, but quite frankly \u2013 it just looks tip-top. You\u2019ve got a whole host of options when it comes to colours, including, Black, Ash or Silver composite decking boards. In fact, our Brown Composite Decking Boards are particularly popular \u2013 many of our satisfied customers have told us that it looks exactly as good as many hardwood varieties, but without quite as much financial cost, time or energy as hardwood might require in the long-run. Plus, composite decking\u2019s sleek lines and modern finish are perfect if you want a more contemporary look for your decking, or to match your home\u2019s aesthetic.<\/p>\n
