Specifying Surfaces that Stand the Test of Time
Best Deck’ s composite wood range gives architects and designers a surface material engineered for South African conditions- with zero ongoing maintenance.
South Africa’ s built environment places extraordinary demands on exterior surface materials. Between the Highveld’ s punishing UV exposure and dramatic temperature swings, the Western Cape’ s driving rain and corrosive coastal salt air and KwaZulu- Natal’ s relentless subtropical humidity, a surface specification that performs reliably everywhere is a rare find. Best Deck composite wood has quietly become that specification for a growing number of architects and designers who need dependable, long-term performance without the ongoing maintenance burden of natural wood.
The product is engineered from a proprietary blend of recycled wood, bamboo fibre and high-density polyethylene( HDPE), bonded with UV stabilisers that resist fading, warping, cracking and moisture absorption. The result is a surface material that retains its colour and structural integrity for decades. Best Deck’ s Diamond Range takes this a step further with a fully capped composite plank wrapped on all four sides, delivering superior stain and moisture resistance backed by a 25-year guarantee.
For specifiers, the range addresses practical concerns that natural wood simply cannot match. The boards are non-slip and splinter-free, making them suitable for high-traffic commercial walkways, pool surrounds and public amenity spaces alike. The suspended installation system allows for effective water drainage and ventilation beneath the surface, eliminating the moisture entrapment that gradually compromises conventional wood structures over time. Cleaning requires nothing more than soapy water.
Best Deck’ s product portfolio extends well beyond decking. Composite wood wall cladding, pergolas, screen walling, balustrades and fascia planks are all available in coordinated colour palettes, enabling architects to specify a unified material language across an entire project. The Diamond Range’ s
ice white cladding plank, for instance, offers a maintenance-free alternative to fibre cement for residential and commercial facades, eliminating the cycle of painting and upkeep that plagues traditional materials.
The company has delivered composite wood solutions for some of South Africa’ s most prestigious developments. At the newly opened Groot Phesantekraal View shopping centre in Durbanville, Best Deck supplied and installed composite beam facades in wood colour, bringing a warm, natural aesthetic to this R1 Billion retail development landmark.
At Steyn City, Best Deck was selected to supply and install decking, pergolas, screen walling and post cladding across multiple phases. With its head office and showroom in Johannesburg, a branch in Somerset West and an agency in Cornubia Cube, Best Deck operates nationally and across Africa, supporting both professional installation and contractor-led projects with detailed technical drawings, installation guidance and dedicated on-site support.
When specifying surfaces for lasting performance, refined aesthetics and guaranteed longevity, Best Deck composite wood products deliver on every count. www. bestdeck. co. za
