Finishes
Smooth or Grooved ?
Decking boards can be supplied with either a grooved or smooth face - typically a grooved deck surface offers more grip under foot, however many choose to opt for a smooth face for aesthetic appeal. The choice really is yours.
Grip Strips
Decking board grip strips are a great addition, providing excellent anti-slip safety, designed to prevent accidents and ensure stability in wet and slippery conditions. Grip stripping can be supplied pre-fitted from the decking wholesaler or purchased and fitted post installation.
Lights
Create stunning visual impact and safe passage across your deck in the dark. Decking lights are small recessed ground lights that combine subtle appearance with great light effect, widely available from hardware shops in a range of colours and shapes.
Railings
Balustrade and railings provide not only an aspect of safety to your raised deck but also add a decorative finish that defines and segments your garden space. Railings are required by building regulations for decks raised at 600mm or more above ground level.
Decking Treatments
Decking treatments are designed to keep timber in tip-top condition all-year-round, whilst protecting against weathering, wear, mould, and algae.
