High-performance,
Low-maintenance Materials
Outdoor living space is one of
the most popular home additions
but
deciding which
materials
to use can be a minefield. With
so many options available, it is
important to choose a product that
suits your needs and can endure the
wet British weather. Whether you’re
considering a patio or a deck, it’s
important to think about the long-
term care and upkeep required to
maintain your garden’s appearance
and safety. For instance, over time,
mould and algae can form on a patio
made of stone, pavers or cement
causing it to become slippery and
unsafe. Likewise, wooden decking
will deteriorate over time without
perennial stripping, staining and
sealing. If you are looking to spend
more time enjoying your outdoor
space
rather
than
maintaining
it, composite decking, such as
Trex, offers an ideal alternative.
This
high-performance,
maintenance
low-
wood-alternative
material is designed to resist fading,
stains, scratching and mould – and
it won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter
like wood. Upkeep is hassle-free
with
no
sanding,
stripping
or
painting required, and food and
drink spills wash off easily with just
soap and water. Additionally, Trex
decking is made up of 95% recycled
materials, making it an ideal choice
for eco-conscious consumers.
Levels
Incorporating
levels
into
your
garden can really bring an outdoor
space to life, adding more visual
elements and maximising space.
