Why Solid Composite Decking?
Decking has always been a popular choice for homeowners looking to create an inviting outdoor living space. While traditional wood decks have their charm, solid composite decking is gaining traction as a durable and low-maintenance alternative.
Solid composite decking is made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastics. This combination offers the aesthetic appeal of wood without its common drawbacks. Unlike wood, which can splinter, warp, or rot over time, composite decking holds its form and retains its appearance for many years.
The "solid" in solid composite decking refers to the material's dense composition. Unlike hollow composite decking, which has a chambered or honeycomb structure, solid decking is sturdy throughout. This design ensures greater strength and resilience, especially under heavy foot traffic. It's an ideal choice for spaces that see frequent use or for homeowners who want the robust feel of traditional wood without the associated maintenance.
One significant advantage of solid composite decking is its resistance to the elements. Rain, snow, and even the sun have minimal impact on this decking material. It doesn't fade easily, ensuring that the vibrant colour you choose stays true for years. Moreover, it's resistant to mould and mildew, common issues in damp environments or regions with heavy rainfall.
From an installation perspective, solid composite decking is user-friendly. The boards are consistent in size and shape, simplifying the laying process. Plus, there's no need for staining or sealing once it's down. A simple wash now and then is all it takes to keep it looking fresh.
Environmentally-conscious homeowners will appreciate that many solid composite decking materials are eco-friendly. Manufacturers often use recycled wood and plastic, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. It's a win-win, considering you get a durable product while also supporting environmentally friendly practices.
In terms of cost, solid composite decking is an investment. While the initial outlay may be higher than that for traditional wood, the savings in maintenance and replacement costs over the years make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
It is advised to buy all boards needed for your project at the same time to ensure the same colour throughout your installation.
Different board batches may have slight colour variations, thanks to the natural wood material within the boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to deliver the commercial grade decking boards?
7-10 working days from receipt of order. Sometimes sooner, we just don't like to promise in case you have workers booked!
What drill and screws do I need to install this decking?
Standard power drills can be used when installing composite decking boards. A standard Phillips screwdriver (PH2 x 50mm) should be used when working with speeddekz 65mm woodscrews and speeddekz 50mm screws.
Can I cut these boards and if so, how?
Composite decking boards can be cut using any standard wood-cutting tools. We recommend using a fine-toothed blade to get the cleanest finish to your cut edge.
What base should I use under the decking?
Generally, there are 2 main options. Firstly, you can use a concrete base. When doing this, a 100mm thick concrete base is recommended, with a slight slope for drainage to occur. The optimum slope should be around 5mm for every metre.
Secondly, you can use a grass or soil base. Here, you should remove the turf/soil until the ground is completely even and remove any debris/rocks from the area. Cover the area of your site with a layer of weed control fabric, to prevent any weed re-growth from coming up under your decking. If you need to overlap the weed mat, ensure you do this with enough fabric to prevent any gaps.
How much space should I leave between joist rows?
The maximum recommended space between joist rows depends on the angle at which you intend to lay your boards, but should never exceed 40cm. Apply deck tape to the top surface and cut the ends of the timber joists to protect them from moisture.
Do I need starter clips?
Yes, starter clips need to be fixed to the end of the Joists before laying the first board.
Is there a guarantee?
There is a 10-year guarantee against stains, scratches and fade resistance on the boards.
How do I maintain composite decking?
For standard everyday debris such as plants, leaves, berries and animal droppings, simply brush your deck free of any debris.
Discolouration can be caused by chemicals found in everyday household products, such as suntan lotion or insect repellent. Take care when using these products near your composite decking.
Does Composite Decking get slippery?
These boards are low slip when installed narrow groove side up, which provides a robust, gripped surface in comparison to timber decking.
Is composite decking better than Trex?
The decking range supplied by us is available as both solid and hollow five-hole honeycomb structure boards which, when compared to Trex’s 'Enhance' range, are stronger, more durable and lighter. Our sample packs are FREE in comparison to Trex.
Is composite decking cheaper than timber decking?
If you compare board for board, composite decking is more expensive than timber decking.
This is because of the wide range of benefits that composite decking has over timber decking. In the long run, composite decking works out to be cheaper than timber, as it does not require regular sanding, painting, varnishing or replacing.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
