DECKING
Each square metre of Composite Prime ’ s composite cladding and decking contains the equivalent of more than 3,000 plastic bottle caps or 280 plastic bottles . In the six years of operation the brand has saved the equivalent of 151 million plastic milk bottles from landfill .
Shades of natural oak and slate were selected to seamlessly blend the steps leading up to the office and create a two tonal pattern , provided by HD Deck ® Dual ’ s reversible two-colour option , which allows homeowners to lay deck boards with contrasting colours and produce bespoke finishes and personalised designs .
The wide range of natural shades and textures found in the Composite Prime product range , allows the most suitable aesthetic to be chosen for an outdoor setting ; ensuring the colour of a structure does not contrast to its surrounding .
A diverse range of styles allow Composite Prime cladding and decking to suit a variety of environments and design choices . Everything from the ultra modern and minimalist to the traditional , cultivated garden can take advantage of the durability benefits and diverse aesthetic fit .
Where timber will fade and rot over time , affecting its appearance and performance , the enhanced durability of composites allows its appearance to endure , providing not only a more consistent appearance , but also better performance than timber .
The beautiful 5m x 3m garden office , which can now be used year-round to provide extra space for Steven and his family , includes a corner sofa , shelving units and a small box room that ’ s to be developed into a bathroom .
The low maintenance building sits aloft a luxury outdoor seating area which was also created using sustainable composite material , from Composite Prime . The HD Deck ® Dual decking features LED lighting which illuminates the whole garden and creates a cosy and relaxing ambience .
