DECKING
Furthermore , as Ecodek is formed using a solid composition , water and moisture can ’ t penetrate the boards and cause rot from within , making the decking ideal for installation at the South Cerney Centre ’ s lakeside location .
“ The environmental advantages of choosing an Ecodek installation chimed well with our brand values ,” Matt continues , “ however we were also impressed with the product ’ s strength and its capacity to span greater joist centres more effectively than many alternative solutions ; whilst remaining aesthetically attractive .
“ The grip texture of the decking surface presented us with the safety assurances we were looking for , and the speed of product availability helped us keep on track with project timelines .”
The Ecodek system ’ s structure also offered Matt further product advantages over hardwood alternatives . Resistant to impact damage , its solidity provides greater noise absorption properties , so it ’ s quieter underfoot - an audible benefit in helping to reduce noise levels in dining environments . Simple to install , and with an impressive level of longevity , Ecodek is a reliable choice for commercial purposes as well as domestic projects , and is fully supported with a 25-year guarantee .
“ With more hospitality businesses keen to create attractive outdoor eating areas to ensure people ’ s safety , the increase in commercial decking development has been significant ,” says Felicity Hodgkinson , Marketing Manager at Ecodek .
“ Furthermore , as growing numbers of bars and restaurants look to improve their sustainability credentials ; either during the initial development stage or as part of a programme of refurbishment , the preference for decking solutions constructed using environmentally sound methods and materials has also flourished .
“ By choosing an Ecodek installation , hospitality ventures can achieve this ecological ethos , and select building products that are manufactured to last , whilst creating a beautiful decking area for customers to enjoy and return to , time and again .”
