BRIGHTON CLADCO COMPOSITE FRAME

Having previously worked for our client (click to view previous work) building a new stoned patio area, he invited us back to fit some composite decking and composite frame on an old patio area of the garden.

Over 2 days the old patio area was removed, and the ground made level. Then we installed the composite frame (not finished yet – see the next post !) and did some rendering work around the area to be decking to make good.

More to follow tomorrow . . . . . . .

Composite decking is often considered a better long-term option because it requires far less maintenance than traditional timber. It won’t rot, splinter, or need regular staining and painting. While timber offers a natural appearance, composite decking provides greater durability, weather resistance, and longevity.

High-quality composite decking can last 25–30 years or more when properly installed and maintained. It is designed to resist fading, moisture, insect damage, and warping, making it ideal for the UK climate.

Most modern composite decking boards are manufactured with anti-slip surfaces that provide excellent grip in wet conditions. While no outdoor surface is completely slip-proof, composite decking is generally safer and less slippery than traditional timber decking.

Composite decking usually has a higher upfront cost than timber decking, but it can save money over time due to lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan.

Modern composite decking is designed with UV-resistant technology to minimise fading. Some slight colour change may occur during the first few months after installation, but high-quality boards retain their appearance for many years.

Yes, composite decking is perfect for gardens of all sizes. It can be custom-designed to suit compact outdoor spaces, patios, balconies, terraces, and larger landscaped gardens.

Many composite decking products are made from recycled plastics and reclaimed wood fibres, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional timber decking.

Composite decking is very easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with warm soapy water is usually enough to keep it looking clean.

Yes, composite decking is strong and durable enough for outdoor furniture, dining sets, and even hot tubs when installed with the correct subframe and structural support.

A professionally installed composite deck can improve the appearance and functionality of your garden, making your home more attractive to buyers.
