Build Your Deck with Low-Maintenance Composite

For many years, wooden decking has been a common sight in Swedish gardens, where pressure-treated decking has been a prominent feature of our patios and balconies. For many years, we’ve taken it for granted that decking must be cleaned, maintained, and treated with oil and stain. We’ve simply grown accustomed to living with this tedious, laborious, and stressful work. Despite the effort and hard work, the results are hardly long-lasting. Discoloration, mold, cracked boards, and splinters underfoot are common after just a few years of having wooden decking. Fortunately, there are other options available today—with maintenance-free composite, you get a deck that will last forever.

Advantages of composite:

• Solid composite boards
• Installation without visible screw or nail holes
• No risk of cracks or chips
• Wide selection of different colors
• Durable and resilient
• Non-slip
• Maintenance-free
• Easy to work with
• Environmentally friendly
• Up to a 25-year warranty

Maintenance-Free Composite Decking

When we build a patio, deck, or balcony today, it’s becoming increasingly common to use composite materials. By building with Fiberon composite, you get a maintenance-free outdoor space that lasts forever, and you don’t have to worry about the flooring looking worn over time. You also don’t have to worry about time-consuming maintenance; usually, simply hosing down the decking is enough to keep it clean. With composite decking, you no longer need to break out the oil brushes the first few days when the spring sun peeks out; instead, you can easily wash Fiberon with soap and water as needed. This is thanks to the exceptional PermaTech surface coating on the boards. It’s a finish that makes the boards easy to clean of grease and stains while keeping the color looking great for years to come. The benefits of composite are clearly numerous.

Composite with the look and feel of real wood

With Fiberon composite, you get to keep that authentic wood feel. The decking is pleasant and comfortable to walk on, with a natural feel against the skin; plus, it looks and feels just like wood. Fiberon provides a safe and secure surface with no risk of splinters in your feet. The decking’s surface is both slip-resistant and incredibly durable. There’s no risk of cracking or splintering, as the decking features a special surface layer that ensures the flooring retains its color, shape, and texture over the long term. Fiberon is a wood composite made up of 50% polyethylene and 50% recycled wood, resulting in a dimensionally stable product that withstands the Swedish climate; it also doesn’t get too hot during the sweltering summer days.

Environmentally Friendly Composite

Composite decking offers many benefits, including from an environmental perspective. It contains no toxic components, is always manufactured using a clean process, and 50% of the material consists of recycled wood. Fiberon composite decking is maintenance-free and lasts a lifetime—simply put, it’s an eco-friendly product.

Easy to install with great results

Fiberon composite decking is easily installed using hidden clips, resulting in a clean-looking floor without screw holes. The material is easy to work with, and the hidden fasteners provide a completely smooth and comfortable feel that you don’t get with wooden decking. For those who want a neater finish on the stairs, Fiberon can easily be split lengthwise and mitered. For this purpose, there’s Cortex—a screw with a cover cap in the same color as the board—which allows you to achieve a neat finish even in the trickiest angles. Installing Fiberon is simple and saves a lot of energy, and with Fiberon, you always get up to a 25-year warranty. The decking is part of a wide range available in a variety of colors.
