Decking & Cladding

Decking and cladding are used to shape how outdoor spaces look and function. From garden seating areas to full outdoor living spaces, these materials are what turn a build into something usable day to day.

They’re commonly used under pergolas, around outdoor kitchens and across garden rooms, creating clean, level surfaces and finished external walls. Composite systems in particular are popular where low maintenance is a priority, offering a consistent finish without the need for regular treatment.

Timber vs Composite — What Actually Matters

Timber Decking

Timber gives a more natural finish and is often chosen for traditional garden layouts. It will need ongoing treatment and maintenance to keep it looking good over time.

Composite Decking

Composite boards are designed for lower maintenance. They don’t require staining or sealing in the same way as timber and tend to hold their colour more consistently.

Cladding Systems

Composite cladding is used to finish vertical surfaces — garden rooms, extensions or feature walls. The different profiles (slated vs shiplap) change the overall look depending on the finish you want.

Getting the Base Right

Even though this category is about the finish, the base still matters. Products like geotextile membrane are used underneath to control weeds and stabilise the area before decking or landscaping is installed.

FAQ’s:

Does composite decking need treating like timber?

No. Composite decking doesn’t require regular staining or sealing, which is why it’s often chosen for lower maintenance installations.

What’s the difference between slated and shiplap cladding?

Slated cladding gives a more textured, contemporary look, while shiplap creates a cleaner, more uniform finish with overlapping boards.

Are composite decking clips necessary?

Yes. Composite decking systems rely on specific clips to fix boards in place while allowing for expansion and contraction.
