Composite Decking Buying Guide
Premium Brands Comparison
Millboard: The UK's premium choice at £170-200/m². Unique Lastane coating delivers authentic wood texture with superior anti-slip properties. Molded from real timber for unmatched realism.
TimberTech: Mid-premium option at £130-160/m². Excellent durability with strong warranties. Modern capped composite technology provides fade resistance.
Trex: Popular mid-range at £110-140/m². Good balance of performance and value. Wide color range and proven track record.
Composite vs Timber Comparison
While composite costs 50-80% more upfront (£110-200/m² vs £25-90/m² for timber), zero maintenance means no annual oiling costs (£150-300/year for wood). Over 10 years, total costs converge. Composite offers 25-30 year lifespan versus 10-20 years for timber.
Installation Considerations
Quality installation is crucial for composite decking. The sub-frame must provide adequate airflow (150mm minimum clearance), proper joist spacing (400mm centers), and correct falls for drainage. Hidden fixing systems create seamless surfaces but require specialist tools.
Maintenance & Care
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance: pressure wash twice yearly, sweep regularly, and clean spills promptly. Unlike timber, no sealing, staining, or sanding is needed. Most stains wipe clean with soap and water.
