The future of decking is here, and it starts with a partnership

Builders and timber merchants face two main challenges: delivering innovative, high-quality products while minimising capital tied up in stock. Deckorators ® and its UK partner Timberbase TM address this with a smarter partnership that is transforming the decking market.
Merchants often choose between traditional timber, which varies in quality and needs upkeep, or large orders of composite decking that may sit in storage for months. This ties up space and capital, limiting flexibility. To deliver a top-quality product in the UK, we needed a supply chain that keeps pace.
The Power of Partnership Our strength lies in a seamless partnership from a unified source. Deckorators, a global decking innovator, and Timberbase are both part of UFP Industries( UPFi), a respected US company with a global presence in building materials. This fully integrated operation combines global innovation with local UK support and logistics to benefit your business.
This means local stock held in the UK and ready for you. Timberbase’ s extensive logistics network supports a significant investment in comprehensive Deckorators inventory nearby. This model eliminates heavy stock commitments, letting you offer premium decking confidently with fast, reliable replenishment. It frees capital, reduces storage costs, and maximises profitability.
Introducing Deckorators Excursion Decking Excursion decking, the product your customers have been waiting for. A great partnership requires a product that sells itself. Deckorators Excursion delivers as the next generation of composite decking, featuring innovative Surestone ® Technology.
Excursion is a mineral-based composite( MBC) decking board that delivers what trade customers and homeowners want.
