Wood and composite decking – for outdoor spaces.
That beautiful decking you see that often joins a living space with the swimming pool, surrounds a beautiful outdoor entertainment area, or creates a magnificent sundeck as an extension to the dwelling, can save you, especially a guesthouse owner, a lot of time and hassles.
Save time, money, precious resources – and headaches!
Remember that gardens are problematic to maintain, requiring care and not to mention copious amounts of water, a precious resource in these times. A wonderful decking space can not only look spectacular, but greatly cut down your outdoor high-maintenance areas, and the decking itself, particularly the now highly- favoured composite decking, can be long-lasting and very easy to maintain.
What is composite decking from Libra flooring?
Although many would say it is not quite a beautiful as natural wood decking, composite decking is also great to look at and is essentially a wood-plastic ‘composite’ of wood and plastic, manufactured from mostly wood fibres and recycled plastic.
The primary benefits of composite decking are threefold…
Firstly, being more rot-resistant and less likely to warp or splinter than wood decking, it is long-lasting. Secondly, it is, as previously mentioned, low maintenance, not requiring the usual staining and sealing that wood does, and finally, although it is likened to a plastic type of product, it is in fact mostly made of recycled material and therefore quite eco-friendly. It also comes in a bigger range of colours, which gives it a more popular appeal.
