The main advantage of Composite Decking is that the boards are made from recycled materials making it the environmentally friendly choice. SAiGE Longlife Composite Decking boards have a composition of 95% recycled materials (50% recycled wood, 45% recycled plastics and with the higher proportion of wood to plastic creates a denser product).
Composite decking is free from splinters, is anti-slip and easy to maintain. This makes SAiGE Decking child friendly so suitable for family life as well as being perfect for busy individuals who do not want to have to spend hours treating and maintaining their decking but just want to enjoy it!
Low water absorption rates of around 0.8% means that the decking can be used around wet environments such as hot tubs and swimming pools as the decking performs well in the wet as well as is resistant to mould and fungus. Because the decking is non-porous mould and fungus doesn’t penetrate the decking board so the boards won’t warp or rot. Any surface mould after the winter is easily cleaned with a pressure washer. The grooves in the decking are deeper meaning that water is dispersed quicker which helps make it less slippery.
Installation of SAiGE’s Hollow Decking boards is by using a hidden fixing clip system which means that no screws go through the boards so there are no points of weakness and creates a very clean finish. The hollow boards are also a lot lighter than the solid boards as there is less material but due to thicker walls than many competitors’ hollow alternatives it is a very sturdy product and is ideal for residential projects. We at SAiGE do supply solid decking boards which are installed with colour coded screws. The solid boards are ideal for commercial use and can also be used in conjunction with the hollow boards as they are the same size and shape to create edges as well as steps.
