Q-1 Do I need a specialist installer to build my deck?

A. Ask your supplier to recommend a local installer who will be able to do the job for you.

Q-2 Why do I need to leave space between deck boards?

A. As timber is a natural product, it can 'move' slightly when exposed to the weather. This is why it is recommended that you leave a small gap between deck boards - anything from 3mm to 12mm will be sufficient.

Q-3 Will my deck require maintenance?

A. Although decking components are guaranteed against decay, your deck will require some maintenance to keep it looking at its best. We recommend cleaning with a soft brush to remove debris.

Q-4 Doesn't decking become slippery in wet weather conditions?

A. Timber is not inherently slippery, but as with any other outside surface, a build up of debris can leave a slippery surface coating. We recommend a good regular clean up of your deck to prevent problems. A suitable anti-slip product can be applied to high traffic areas, such as steps and doorways.

Q-5 Can decking be used for wall paneling?

A. Yes. Decking can be used for wall paneling too.

Q-6 Is timber decking harmful to the environment?

A. No - we import all timber from countries and suppliers that meet UN requirements for proper management of forest resources, including vast replanting schemes. Man-made materials can cause much greater damage to the environment during production processes.

Q-7 Can we use decking in outdoor areas?

A. Yes, we can use decking for outdoor areas like pool side or garden areas.
