Nowadays, a terrace is not just an extension of our home, but also a place where we spend many precious moments with our loved ones – including children and pets. We enjoy breakfast together, relax after a hard day, and host family gatherings. That’s why it is so important that our terrace is not only aesthetic and functional but above all, safe. In this post, we will discuss why composite decking is an excellent cho

Composite Decking – Aesthetics, Durability, and Safety

Composite decking is an excellent solution that combines aesthetics and durability while ensuring safety for children and pets. A safe and practically maintenance-free terrace provides joy and peace during shared moments outdoors.

Anti-Slip Surface – The Key to Terrace Safety

One of the most important features to consider is the anti-slip nature of the boards. This is mainly influenced by the surface of the boards – particularly noteworthy are grooved boards or those with a visible deep texture that resembles wood.

Safe Installation – Invisible Composite Decking Fastening Systems

Traditional wooden boards can sometimes have protruding nails or screws, posing a potential danger, especially for children and pets. In the case of composite decking, installation is carried out using invisible fastening systems, eliminating protruding elements and creating a smooth surface. Moreover, composite boards, unlike wooden ones, do not have sharp edges or splinters.

Composite vs. Wood – Resistance to Adverse Factors

Composite decking is more resistant to adverse weather conditions, such as frost or UV radiation, as well as to insects, rot, and decay caused by fungi or bacteria. Their resistance and durability against mechanical and atmospheric factors are significantly influenced by their composition – made from a combination of wood flour, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and enriching additives and pigments. Therefore, we do not have to worry about cracks.

Composite Fences, Railings, and Steps – Additional Terrace Safety

The terrace should be stable and solid – it’s a foundation. However, it is worth considering additional measures to ensure an even higher level of safety – such as an appropriate  system of railings or fences. Composite fences and railings in our offer have the same properties as terrace boards. For higher terraces, it is also very important to build appropriate steps. For this, it is worth using a stair board,which has a surface conducive to safety. It is also worth remembering to choose plants appropriately, ensuring there are no species that could harm children and pets. Equally important is regularly checking the condition of the terrace, including furniture, fences, and railings.
