More and more people are now enjoying al fresco living on their raised patios and garden areas. But one thing is rapidly becoming clear for lovers of the great outdoors: timber may look great in its natural form, but it isn't the best material to build decking and fencing.
With the great British weather throwing rain, sleet, snow and sun, not to mention temperatures that go from freezing to blisteringly hot over the space of just a few months, outdoor woodwork has a lot to handle. Hardly surprising that after just a few years, most timber decking and fencing will begin to fade and even worse, warp, split or rot.
But there is a ray of sunshine. Composite materials for outdoor living from Eurocell offer a beautiful alternative to timber, with decking and railings that look good, last longer and require virtually no maintenance.
Because they're formed from composite – a material made from wood flour and plastic – our decking and fencing looks just like wood but has the longevity and strength of plastic. It's remarkably tough and even under the toughest conditions, doesn't require varnishing or treating. Cleaning is as simple as using soapy water so no messy solvents are required to keep it looking perfect.
Modular components mean composite decking and railings quickly slot together and invisible clips firmly attach parts together to minimise unsightly screw heads. Where cutting is needed, the material behaves just like wood so no special tools are required.
We can’t guarantee the weather. We can guarantee our composite products against staining, fading, rot and insect attack – for at least 10 years and up to 25 years for solid decking. All of which means that with Eurocell outdoor living products, the outlook is good for patios everywhere.
