Product Information

Full details

D Pro T Homeware Composite Decking Boards are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing decking solution. The key benefit is their balance of strength and lightness due to the honeycomb structure, coupled with a reversible design for style versatility. A potential caveat is that composite shades may subtly change after extended sun exposure. These boards offer a safe, non-slip surface that absorbs less water than traditional wood, reducing mold and fungi risks, and are simple to install with standard tools.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the honeycomb structure?

The honeycomb structure provides an optimal balance between rigidity and lightness, making the boards strong yet easy to handle and install.

Can I choose which side of the board faces up?

Yes, the boards feature a reversible design, offering a wood grain effect on one side and narrow grooves on the other, allowing you to select your preferred aesthetic.

How water-resistant are these boards?

They absorb significantly less water than traditional wood, which helps prevent slippery surfaces caused by mold or fungi, making them a safer option.

What tools do I need to install these boards?

You can install them using standard DIY tools, including a fine-toothed saw for cutting and appropriate screws for composite decking.

What maintenance is required?

Maintenance is minimal. Regular sweeping and occasional cleaning with warm water and mild soap are usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty period?

The manufacturer provides a 10-year guarantee against rot.

Will the color of the boards change in the sun?

Composite shades may vary slightly after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. This is a natural characteristic of the material.

Troubleshooting

Boards appear discolored after installation.

This may be due to prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Composite shades can subtly change over time. It is a natural characteristic of the material and not a manufacturing defect.

Difficulty cutting boards.

Ensure you are using a fine-toothed saw blade designed for cutting composite materials. For best results, make cuts slowly and steadily.

Boards do not seem level.

Check the underlying sub-frame for levelness. Ensure joists are correctly spaced and secured. Adjust the sub-frame as necessary before installing boards.

Screws are not holding securely.

Use screws specifically designed for composite decking. Ensure you are not over-tightening screws, which can strip the material. Pilot holes may be beneficial in some cases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low maintenance compared to traditional wood decking.
  • Reversible design offers aesthetic flexibility.
  • Safer for families due to non-slip and water-resistant properties.
  • Easy to install with standard DIY tools.
  • Resistant to rot, splitting, and splintering.

Cons

  • Color may vary slightly after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.
  • Requires a sub-frame structure for installation, similar to traditional decking.
  • Initial cost may be higher than some basic timber options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These composite decking boards are designed for straightforward installation using common carpentry tools. Ensure you have a suitable sub-frame constructed from treated timber or metal joists. Boards can be cut to size using a fine-toothed circular saw. It is recommended to use specific composite decking screws to prevent splitting and ensure a secure fit. Allow for expansion gaps between boards, especially in direct sunlight, following manufacturer guidelines for spacing.

Compatibility:

The boards are compatible with standard deck framing systems. Ensure your sub-frame is level and adequately supported to distribute weight evenly.

Care:

Cleaning is simple: sweep away loose debris regularly. For tougher stains or dirt, use warm water and a mild detergent with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or power washers, as these can damage the surface.

Important Note: Composite shades can subtly change after prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. This is a natural characteristic and not a defect. This slight fading or color adjustment is part of the material's interaction with UV light.
