Choose maintenance free composite decking and maintenance free decking for a durable, stylish outdoor space with little-to-no upkeep.
Give yourself a break with a low-maintenance decking solution. The average decking area has a lot to contend with. Whether its months of rain, sleet and snow that bring moisture build up, or summer-long heat waves that ensure months of dry and warm weather. A good decking solution needs to be able to stand up to all of the things that the weather throws at it and if it doesn’t then users are faced with constant maintenance and upkeep... Only adding to the day-to-day headaches of life.
A Little Care And Attention Twice A Year, That’s All We Recommend
Unfortunately there is no such thing as zero maintenance decking or no maintenance decking but NeoTimber products are an almost maintenance free decking solution, which come with the guarantee of little-to-no upkeep across their long life. The blend of wood and plastic ensures that the boards remain resistant to moisture, which is often the key contributor to high-maintenance timber alternatives. The board’s moisture-resistant seal ensures that they do not suffer from the damaging effects of the weather which, left untreated can often wreak havoc on more traditional timber decking solutions making them the perfect choice for anyone seeking maintenance free composite decking.
A twice yearly clean of your deck using domestic grade soap, warm water and a soft brush is the extent of the maintenance that we recommend. Not only does this ensure that the boards remain at their sparkling best, but also removes any material build up that can sometimes collect between boards (which is key to ensuring your low-maintenance composite decking isn’t affected by moisture build up).
For A Deeper Clean
While we believe the above level of maintenance is enough for most decking environments, we do understand that all areas are different and some require a higher level of upkeep. Our maintenance free composite decking boards are perfectly suited to the outdoors, but we also know that without the protection of the indoors, things can get messy. Say, for instance, your decking area is under a tree that sheds its autumn leaves, or your space is used to entertain clumsy guests who are prone to spilling a drop of wine now and again. Water-based composite cleaning products can offer that deep clean and added level of care that is sometimes required.
Some More Maintenance Tips
- Remove residue between boards to avoid build-up
- Do not stain the boards
- Sweep excess material from the surface
- Act quickly when spills occur
- Remove ice or snow with a plastic shovel
- Avoid using rubber-backed rugs
- Incorporate drainage to your subframe
- Ensure sufficient airflow beneath your decking
The High Maintenance Alternatives
Where our composite boards come with a guarantee of next-to-no maintenance; high-maintenance alternatives, such as timber and PVC decking come with the guarantee of tiresome upkeep.
Timber
Timber comes with the promise of backbreaking upkeep and maintenance, year-after-year. And even that is not enough to prevent the inevitable cracking, splitting and warping of your deck boards over time.
PVC
PVC, or plastic decking doesn’t perform too well either. Maintenance is often made difficult with excessive levels of expansion and a poor slip-resistance, which no amount of care, attention or maintenance can cure.
