Decking Strips in The UK

Non-slip GRP Decking Strips are a quick and simple way to increase safety on slick wooden decking and steps while maintaining a beautiful appearance. They fit to the highest point of the strip on the deck or step surface. Anti-slip decking in the UK is the highest form of outdoor flooring when it comes to offering secure footing as well as grip in all conditions.

PVC is incredibly long-lasting and low-maintenance, maintaining its appearance through all types of weather. PVC decking is considerably more impermeable than composites since it contains no organic substance.

Composite materials promise higher durability and require less upkeep. Although wood remains the most popular material for decks, it is not indestructible. Composites might be more resilient, but you might not get the natural appearance and colour you want from them.

In addition to being used to enhance a home's living space, wood and timber decking can also be used as a substitute for stone-based features like patios. Decks are built from wood that has been treated, composite materials, and aluminium. Our stair nosing is extremely durable yet beautifully simple, and it is made to be used alongside carpet, porcelain tile, rolled carpet, vinyl plank, stone, and natural wood on steps.

Types of Decking:

Composite Decking:

Generally speaking, a "composite" is a new finished product created from a range of resources. The two components that are combined most frequently are low-density polyethylene and wood fibres, while some products also employ high-density polyethylene, rice hulls, and various mixtures of different materials. While many composite colours are scratch-resistant and mimic wood, their performance varies by manufacturer and cost. The fact that composite decking doesn't require refinishing or sanding further reduces its maintenance requirements.

Aluminium Decking:

A common substitute for conventional wood decking is Aluminium Decking Strips. Aluminium decking requires little care and is durable enough to last for many years before needing to be replaced. Additionally, it resists fire. Aluminium decking is an additional choice for homeowners searching for a durable, low-maintenance deck. It can be found in a range of hues and designs to go with the exterior of your house. Additionally, it is advised in wildfire-prone locations due to its fire resistance, and because of its resistance to weather damage, it is also a suitable option for homes in places that frequently experience hailstorms and severe winds.

Wood Decking:

The deck of a home is often an elevated wooden platform that is joined to the main structure. Both from the inside of the home and from the lower level, access is possible through doors. When wood composite is created using residual sawdust from the manufacture of furniture and recycled plastic from milk containers and detergent bottles, it can be environmentally benign.

PVC Decking:

This material, which is formed of cellular polyvinyl chloride, a similar substance used for plastic fencing, is also known as plastic or synthetic decking. Its density is the same as that of softwood white pine, making it lightweight. A protective layer is sometimes placed on the surface of some PVC decking, giving it a wood-like appearance.
