PVCu Decking

PVCu decking is an increasingly prevalent choice for providing outdoor seating areas in gardens. Because of the beauty of the wood effect, they can be very elegant areas that can be used year round by adding external heating and illumination. PVCu decking is usually fitted in locations in front of patio or French doors where they can create a smooth transition between inside and outside spaces. PVCu decking can come in virtually any size or shape to suit any area. Curved designs or large areas joined by pathways can create an attractive effect. PVCu decking is reasonably easy to install and causes little disruption, particularly when compared to alternate options like patio or paving. It could even be installed over the top of a pre-existing patio. It is necessary however to be sure that your PVCu decking is structurally sound and able to take the load of any furniture or plants that you would like to use on the decking. There is a range of types of wood effect that can be used in PVCu decking. Generally decking is constructed from plastic. As plastic decking will need maintenance, which commonly will involve yearly cleaning and staining for weather proofing, composite woods are becoming popular for use in PVCu decking as they are stronger and require far less maintenance.
