Outdoor Decking FAQs

HPCT, or Hollow PolyLux Composite Technology, represents an eco-friendly and sustainable outdoor decking solution. This innovative decking is manufactured using a blend of recycled plastic, sawdust, and wood fibers, offering a durable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional timber decking.

Despite being a synthetic product, HPCT Outdoor Decking provides numerous advantages over traditional wood decking. Made from recycled materials, it is a significantly greener option. HPCT decking is robust, waterproof, and resistant to termites and weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting color and integrity. Unlike wood decking, it does not crack or splinter, thereby extending its lifespan. Additionally, HPCT decking requires minimal maintenance, eliminating the need for sanding, varnishing, and staining, which simplifies cleaning and upkeep.

Traditional wooden decks typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. In contrast, HPCT composite decking, with its resistance to weather, insects, and rot, can last between 25 to 30 years, or even longer with proper care. This longevity makes it a cost-effective and durable choice for outdoor spaces.

HPCT composite decking features textured finishes that enhance its slip resistance, making it safer than wood, which can become slippery when wet. This quality makes HPCT decking a superior option for areas exposed to moisture.

While primarily designed for outdoor use, composite decking can also serve as an interior flooring solution when installed over a solid base. It is suitable for placement over concrete surfaces, though a support system between the decking and the concrete is recommended for optimal results.

Yes, HPCT composite decking is highly resistant to rot and insects, making it suitable for direct ground contact. Its durability under these conditions makes it ideal for a variety of outdoor applications.

Regular maintenance of HPCT Outdoor Decking involves sweeping and mopping. When using a pressure washer, keep the nozzle at a safe distance and set the pressure below 1500 psi to prevent damage. Use a spatula or plastic gardening tools to remove leaves, debris, and dust from the gaps between the boards. Avoid metal tools like rakes or shovels. For added protection, consider installing awnings or screens to shield the decking from direct UV rays.
