Eco-Friendly Composite Decking

If you are considering adding a deck or outdoor space to your home, you will be faced with a variety of options. From traditional wood to composite decking, there are more products on the market today than ever before. Eco-friendly composite decking is widely accepted to be one of the most popular products available due to the fact that it boasts qualities highlighted by a longer lifespan than traditional wood. Are There Any Drawbacks? Whilst standard composite decking, offers environmentally friendly positives due on the material-sourcing and manufacturing side, it is has also been labelled as being unsustainable on the installation and end-of-life side. By mixing an industrial material (plastic) that is recyclable with a biological material (wood), you create a material that is neither recyclable nor compostable. However, things are all about to change. Introducing Eco-Friendly Composite Decking Whilst many of the old composites were made from sawdust mixed with cheap polymers, so

Environmentally Friendly Timber Decking Systems

Decking allows us to do more of our living outdoors, it is therefore little surprise that they are now one of the most popular features of modern day homes. They can be a great investment but it takes a level of planning to ensure that your deck is as environmentally friendly as possible, whether you are planning to install it yourself or leave it to a professional contractor. With a definitive shift towards introducing environmentally friendly timber decking systems to the UK market, we are delighted to announce the addition of the iDecking Revolution to the wide range of choices available from Wallbarn highlighted by DURO. DURO is the name of the brand new green material developed by iDeck to integrate its decking and wall cladding systems in total respect for Mother Nature.

The addition of a deck to an outdoor area offers the perfect way to create an attractive and versatile addition to your property whilst offering a great focal point for entertaining and spending hours in the garden.

Eco Friendly Decking – The iDecking Way!

There can be little doubt that a deck can be a great addition to any property and offers the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living at its fullest. However, until recently there have been a range of environmental factors which had to be kept in mind when designing any project. What is Eco Friendly Decking? For decking to be accurately described as being ‘eco friendly’ it must be produced in a way that does not negatively impact the environment. This means that the decking tiles must be made or constructed from a sustainable source, with the production process using only the minimum of energy. Thanks to iDecking Revolution, a leading company in terms of innovations in decking systems and materials, new green and eco-friendly solutions have now hit the market! Introducing a Brand New Decking Material This has led us to ETHERNO: the new decking material 100% made of bamboo. It is a semi manufactured product and takes on an entirely different look and performance. Bamboo grows much faste

TD Support Pads Project – Honour Lea Road

We have recently been involved in the completion of a project called Honour Lea Road – near the Olympic Stadium featuring the installation of TD support pads, which were used in the construction of a timber decking area on a new build project for Wates Construction. The images below highlight how the roof of the building was designed to have a large terrace to take advantage of the view. How Were The TD Supports Implemented? The TD supports were used to raise the timber structures  off the deck to protect the waterproofing membrane from damage. There are also TD Mobile supports in view in some of the pictures. The client wanted to hold the edge timber joist / batten very securely, so want to screw the support pad into that joist to hold everything together. More Information About TD Support Pads These support pads are similar to the ASP range, but manufactured with a set of joist peg fittings placed either 40mm or 60mm apart. We also have a new headpiece with an extra wide joist ho

Installation of TD Megapads, Marine Wharf in Surrey Quays

A recent project at Marine Wharf in Surrey Quays offered the perfect example of just how fast and effective the installation of TD Megapads can be. Project Specifications The specifications for this project were supplied from the architect using the AUTOCAD images we have on our website and the information we publish on the NBS Plus software provided by RIBA. For successful completion of the project, it became apparent that a product capable of holding very high weights, which the Megapads do (800kg per unit), was required to reach up to the door thresholds of the residential units. The high clearances mean none of the timber is left in standing water. As this deck is treated softwood, if it was left in standing water permanently it would rot much faster, this design extends the life of the timber. The timber decking was laid out onto the concreted and waterproofed areas so that everything, the terraces and the walkways around the central fountain landscaping area, was on the same le
