Texture & Pattern

Along with the colour and lateral type, the texture and pattern of your composite deck boards can also play a huge role in the general look of the finished project.

Natural textured boards are a popular choice when looking for a finish that tastefully mimics the aesthetic feel of natural timber or stone, with a extensive range of options (primarily Millboard and Trex products) that can fool even the most trained eye upon close inspection. 

Typically a grooved deck surface offers more grip under foot and works well with natural timber finishes giving a more stereotypical decking style asimilar to that of a traditional hard or softwood deck, yet lacking the yearly treatment some timber decks require.

Smooth board finishes give the deck a clean and sophisticated appearance - complimenting well with surrounding smooth modern architecture, allowing internal design to effortlessly flow to your outdoor space. Smooth boards as opposed to grooved and deep grained are much easier to clean with minimal nooks for dirt to find itself into you.

As opposed to the use of timber, where the choice of material is somewhat constrained - composite decking is available in a huge range of colours and textures. We therefore recommend that you allow ample time to browse the many online manufactures and retailers. We are happy to work with any composite type, from any company that you might discover.

Cladco decking is a company we have used many times in the past and we certainly do recommend their products, the website is easy navigate and free samples are available upon request - we also hold stock of these sample packs and are happy to bring them along on a property visit.
