DECKING
drinking outside could well become key to the hospitability sector ’ s onward success .”
Felicity goes on to explain how when designing and developing outdoor hospitality space , the use of practical , as well as attractive building materials is crucial :
“ Whilst UK weather elements play their part in demanding a tolerant and robust outdoor floor surface for commercial outdoor areas , a business ’ s bottom line needs a cost effective and low maintenance material .”
A perfect solution With its synergistic blend of plastic and wood and proven colour fast properties , ecodek ® is a solution that ticks all the boxes . A market leading Wood Polymer Composite Decking , renowned for its “ fit and forget ” characteristics , ecodek ® needn ’ t be stained , painted or treated to prevent warping , swelling or distortion , as the product ’ s polymer content limits moisture absorption to less than 1 percent , compared with more than 25 percent for untreated timber . Initially manufactured using 95 percent recycled materials and sustainably sourced materials , the decking can be recycled repeatedly ; proving ecodek ® to be as green as it is long lasting . Decking lengths are cut to order at the fabrication stage in the UK - not only limiting waste , but also helping to reduce installation time , customer costs and environmental impact .
Sustainable and long-lasting “ It ’ s everyone ’ s hope that the hospitality and commercial sectors will be operating as normal sooner rather than later ,” Felicity continues , “ however with current circumstances as they are , maximising premises ’ potential to increase customer capacity within an outdoor space makes a lot of sense .
“ Ensuring that area is attractive , inviting and safe , using materials designed to last for the long-term as opposed to the moment , presents proprietors with a business-building spatial solution that customers can enjoy and return to , months and years from now .”
