Kebony and Exterpark FSC Hardwood Decking
Great News Alex
Could you possible explain the qualities you are looking for? There maybe some decking installers that may fall short of your expectations.
Many thanks for posting

Hi Stuart
Have you ever experienced issues with the decking expanding so the decking elevation has increased over the paving thus creating a nasty lip of anything from 3 to 7mm (for example) and then in the warmer weather when the boards move the opposite way, the decking is then perhaps lower than the paving.
over to you… 😉
Â
Great news John

Could you post the designs as a blog, it would be interesting to see what decisions the planners had to make.

How sad, there are many occasions when people are illadvised about decking and what is and isn’t allowed.
Â
There should be more information out in the open about correct construction, materials and regulations – perhaps The Decking Network could lead the way…

One can assume that the least damage to the boards would be if you were to clean in the direction of the grain, by having a smooth finsh rather than a grooved finish makes all maintenace easier as there are no grooves for debris to get stuck into.
Â
With regard to composite, there are so many and they probably differ according to the manufacturers instructions, for the better part refrain from using rock salt as the damage to the surface sometimes can’t be repaired, other than that I guess yu are right, a stiff broom it is…

A weather question! Do you have to ‘go with the grain’ whilst removing snow from hardwood decking and refrain from metal shovels? And what is the best way on composites-a large broom?
Do we then need a standard to differentiate between the very many composites.
Some say they are from recycled materials, last for ever, colour stable etc etc, the consumer can only read this information and only disbelieve this information if it transpires that the product doesn’t stand up to the sales pitch.
BREEAM would be a deciding factor for many when considering a “green” decking product.
BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to describe a building’s environmental performance. This accounts for the materials used on an individul basis.Also CE marking would benefit the purchaser and make products stand out from the crowd in terms of quality and credibly back up the product information sales pitch. This will be a mandatory requirement for all construction materials used commercialy from 2013 onwards.
Standards are a great leveller when many similar products are brought to the table for selection.
This would also seperate the hype from companies purporting incorrect information when writing a sales pitch.
