Mark Bentley of The Paving Centre explained: "We can offer our composite decking in pieces of any length up to six metres. It means our customers can have exactly the right size of decking as they require without any wastage at all.

"With leftovers are kept to an absolute minimum, our customers save money as well as getting an eco-friendly installation."

Product Specifications

Composite decking material is made up of a mix of wood flour (approx 55%) and polyethylene with the addition of certain additives to improve physical and processing properties.

The polyethylene used in this product is a high quality, recycled material made up of mainly bottle and film materials.

The wood flour is also a recovered material which is processed, filtered and dried before being compounded with the polyethylene. The resulting product is over 95% recycled.

Our composite decking material has many useful properties when used as decking, these include:

Low moisture absorption
No rotting, splintering or splitting
In-built UV resistance
Excellent dimensional stability
Non-slip surface in the wet and dry
No toxic materials to leach into the soil
Easy as wood to work with
in the US, this material was even designed to withstand termites!

Application Data
