Composite Wood Decking looks

A recent survey by Houzz UK found that 59 per cent of homeowners are prioritising outdoor living and making
substantial changes to their garden. This includes adding decking, upgrading fencing and installing garden
rooms, with 67 per cent pointing to low maintenance as the highest priority for garden improvement products.
To help installers take ad-
vantage of this high demand for
low maintenance garden improve-
ments to win more business in the
garden, Composite Wood Com-
pany ™ exhibited its Composite
Wood decking, balustrade fencing
and its new garden room – which
includes a veranda – at FIT show.
“We had a great response to
the stand at FIT Show with lots of
installers looking to add our low
maintenance range of decking,
fencing and garden rooms to their
business,” says Tony Pratt, sales
director for Composite Wood Com-
pany. “We’re looking to help win-

FIRE STATION IN FACTORY FINISHED TIMBER
The benefits of full fac-
tory finishing of architectural
timber, combined with the
use of translucent coatings
to bring out the lustre of nat-
ural wood, are highlighted
in the construction of a new-
build fire and rescue station
in Lymm, Cheshire.
While factory finishing is
becoming more prevalent,
it is still far from the norm,
despite the many distinct
advantages shown in this
project, as Graham Avery,
