    Composite Decking For The Australian Climate

    Is timber decking is a thing of the past? Today, composite decking offers a natural wood look with huge savings over ten years compared to hardwood and up to twice the lifespan.

    Check out the CleverDeck composite timber decking range – the face of durable, cost-effective, and sustainable composite decking!

    High-Quality Durable Decking For Your Outdoor Space

    Unlike traditional wood decking that is cut from a tree, composite decking is made from primarily recycled materials. The Futurewood CleverDeck range is made from recycled plastic, rice husks, and hardwood sawdust. The CleverDeck Xtreme range also has a pure polymer shell over the recycled core. This allows us to create high-quality decking that is more cost effective over time and much easier to maintain.
    The composite decking materials are also extremely durable. In the harsh Australian climate, having composite decking that is practically waterproof, scratch and fade-resistant, and super durable is a must.
    Composite decking is an affordable option that lets you maintain your outdoor living space without sacrificing the quality or durability of your deck.

    Why Choose Composite Decking?

    No More Oiling, Rot, Or Fading

    One of the biggest problems people face with timber products is rot and decay from rain and extreme weather. Timber also tends to dry out, cup and crack under the harsh sun and slowly weather away from the wind, sun, and rain.
    Composite decking is made from hardy recycled materials. It’s low maintenance and comfortably manages even the most intense weather regions.
    Capped decking, like CleverDeck Xtreme, is double layered. The outer layer is a pure polymer specially blended to ensure that the decking surface is even more durable, fade-resistant, and scratch-resistant as the materials in the core of the board aren’t directly exposed to the elements.

    Get The Right Look With Customisable Composite Decking Boards

    CleverDeck decking boards are highly customisable. Across the 3 different ranges of composite decking you have options over the colour and finish that suits your home.
    You can also customise the length, width and even the thickness of the CleverDeck Original composite decking. Not only is this more eco-friendly by cutting back on waste, but it also lowers composite decking costs.

    Enjoy A Quick & Easy Install

    You don’t need to oil your composite decking. You also don’t need to paint it, cut it to size, sand the surface, or do any other pre-installation prep work.
    Composite decking boards can be worked like timber and cut to size. Futurewood’s concealed fix clip system provides consistent gapping between boards and comes with screws for either timber or metal joists to ensure a quick and easy install!

    Composite Decking Is Environmentally Friendly

    Composite decking is an environmentally friendly alternative to timber. Production is more sustainable than timber farming and recycling materials reduces waste and pollution.
    So by choosing composite decking, you not only enjoy durable and low-maintenance decking. You also do your part in helping conserve the Australian ecosystem.
    And because we use recycled materials, we provide decking that is much more affordable in the long run compared to traditional wood options.
