landProduct Description:

Suelo Composite Decking is a wood-plastic composite board measuring 25 x 150mm and supplied in 3.6m lengths in brown. It is used for garden decking, raised platforms and terraces, balconies, walkways, poolside areas, and roof terraces across domestic and light commercial projects.

Composite decking exists to solve the problems of timber. Made from wood fibre bonded with polymer, the board does not rot, warp, splinter, or need the annual sanding, oiling, or staining a timber deck demands to keep it looking right. It will not go green and slippery in the way untreated softwood does, it holds its colour far better through sun and rain, and maintenance amounts to little more than an occasional wash. The trade-off is a higher cost at purchase, usually recovered over the life of the deck in materials and labour not spent on upkeep.

The brown tone gives the warmth of natural timber without the fading and silvering that real wood goes through, and sits well with brick, render, and planting. The 3.6m length suits most domestic deck widths without joining, and at 25 x 150mm the board fits standard decking substructures. Boards should be fixed to a joist substructure at the spacing specified by the manufacturer, as composite requires closer joist centres than timber, with expansion gaps left at the ends and sides to allow for thermal movement — composite expands and contracts more
