Product Information

Full details

The Ecoscape Forma Composite Decking Board is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber decking. Its primary benefit is the 1mm HDPE protective capping, which provides superior resistance against weather-related damage, staining, and splintering, though users should be prepared for the higher initial investment cost compared to standard wood products.

FAQs

Can I install these boards directly onto the ground?

No, these boards must be installed over a stable, leveled sub-frame or joist system to allow for proper drainage and airflow.

Do I need to paint or seal the Forma decking?

No, the Ecoscape Forma range is designed to be low-maintenance and does not require painting, sealing, or staining.

How do I cut these boards?

You can use standard carpentry tools, such as a circular saw or miter saw with a fine-toothed carbide blade, to achieve clean cuts.

What is the benefit of the 1mm HDPE capping?

The capping provides a non-porous shield that makes the board extremely resistant to stains, fading, and moisture absorption.

Is the board surface slippery when wet?

The boards are designed with an authentic woodgrain texture that provides good grip; however, caution should always be used on any decking surface during heavy rain or icing conditions.

Does the 25-year guarantee cover all issues?

The guarantee covers structural integrity and material defects such as rotting or splitting when installed according to Ecoscape's guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between boards are uneven

Ensure that your joist spacing is uniform and use consistent hidden fastener clips to maintain the recommended expansion gaps.

Surface debris is stuck in the grain texture

Use a soft-bristled nylon brush and mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area, then rinse thoroughly with water.

Board appears slightly faded after long exposure

Check that the area has not been cleaned with abrasive chemicals; ensure you are only using mild soap and water for regular maintenance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rotting, warping, and splintering
  • Minimal maintenance compared to natural wood decking
  • High-quality Havana finish with a natural woodgrain look
  • Protective HDPE capping enhances longevity
  • Backed by an extensive 25-year warranty

Cons

  • Higher upfront cost than traditional timber
  • Requires specific composite-grade hidden fasteners
  • Heavy material can be physically demanding to transport
  • Surface can get warm under direct, intense sunlight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard woodworking tools but must be performed using compatible hidden fastener systems to maintain the integrity of the board edges. Because the material is denser than wood, it is recommended to pre-drill holes if face-fastening is necessary near the ends of boards to prevent splitting. For care, avoid using harsh industrial chemicals or abrasive metal scrapers. Regular maintenance should consist of simple sweeping to clear debris and an occasional gentle wash with a soft brush and mild soap to maintain the vibrancy of the Havana woodgrain finish.
