Composite Decking explained
If you have been researching plastic and composite decking you will be aware that there are a vast array of styles and finishes to choose from, all of which have their own unique set of characteristics and decking board finishes. In the first article the focus was on the hollow composite decking and the Trex Transcend decking board.
In this article we will look at the PVC Decking board and the Millboard deck board.
PVC Decking
PVC Decking is a good alternative to old fashioned hollow composite decking. So why use PVC Decking ?

- PVC decking is Non Slip certified.
- PVC Decking is generally class 1 fire rated.
Price
PVC Decking price can range any where from £48 per Metre Square to £66 per Metre square. ( Inc Vat )
