Topic: Composite Decks
If you love the look of timber for your outdoor area but don’t relish all the time and expense it takes to look after it, then timber composite could be the perfect solution. Made from a mixture of recycled wood and plastic, it looks and feels like conventional timber but will maintain its good looks for years without sanding, painting or staining. It outperforms conventional timber in other ways too – it’s highly UV and moisture-resistant, flaw-free, and won’t warp, crack or splinter when exposed to our tough Aussie climate.
ModWood is a market leader in timber composite decking, with a range of contemporary, eco-friendly designs that are tailored to suit the most stylish of outdoor spaces. A perennial favourite with architects, builders and home owners, ModWood is well-placed to identify the emerging trends in outdoor decking, which include:
• Bigger is better: extra-wide decking boards, such as ModWood’s 137mm solid board, are gaining in popularity for outdoor entertaining spaces
• Colour trends focus on earthy shades that are derived from nature – from rich browns through to silvery greys
• Environmental responsibility: Customers want to know where their decking comes from, and be sure that it’s from a sustainable source. ModWood, which is a member of the Green Building Council Australia, produces decking and screening that is 90% recycled or reclaimed, and chemical-free
• Low maintenance style is key. Customers are looking for products that offer beauty and performance, and will allow them to enjoy their outdoor area without hours of maintenance. People are turning to timber composite decking as it gets around many of the problems associated with conventional timber.
• Uniformity of features – products that are smooth, fault-free and easy to lay provide a perfect base for an architect-designed home
• Comfort is just as important as looks – customers are thinking about the way their outdoor areas area is actually used, and realize that bare feet and splinter-prone timber decks just don’t mix
