DECKING
Having experienced first-hand the maintenance issues and potential slip hazards of installing hardwood decking in the past , South Cerney Outdoor Centre ’ s Managing Director Matt Pritchard wanted to consider alternative indoor and outdoor flooring options , with a wider vision of being able to create an indoor / outdoor space , with little transition between the two once the bi-fold doors were opened .
Considering a composite deck solution to be a more durable and stable option , as well as capable of providing a suitable indoor and outdoor aesthetic and level of practicality , Matt was interested in the advantages of enhancing his project using the Ecodek decking system .
He explains : “ I was looking for a solution that would enable us to use the same board material internally and externally , whilst also bringing a complimentary wood effect feel to the whole dining environment . It was important that any flooring solution chosen would echo with our project ’ s sustainability brief , and be made using recycled and sustainable materials wherever possible .”
In ecological terms , Matt ’ s decking choice has been on brief , as the ecodek ® decking solution is designed to be as green as it is long lasting . Purposely created to be repeatedly recycled , and available in lengths that are ‘ cut to order ’ in the UK at the fabrication stage , Ecodek production and sustainability credentials not only limit waste but help to reduce installation time and customer costs .
