Our capped composite decking is the perfect mix of hardwearing performance and premium style. All capped boards in our Evolution collection feature an advanced protective outer layer that offers optimum UV fade and stain resistance.

For an easy-clean, low-maintenance, and long-lasting deck, our capped boards are the ultimate answer.
Why Choose the Evolution Capped Decking Collection?
Thanks to an engineered solid core, this capped composite decking delivers a longer lifespan than hollow alternatives, while a hidden clip fixing system ensures a seamless, clean finish. All Evolution decking boards are tested in Britain and available in a stunning range of contemporary colours, from rich, natural browns to smokey greys.
Engineered for Premium Performance
The Evolution collection brings heavy-duty structural integrity to your outdoor spaces, offering distinct advantages over traditional materials:
Premium Solid-Core Feel
Enjoy a substantial, structural underfoot solidity, comparable density, and acoustic damping to premium tropical hardwood – entirely without the demanding maintenance overhead.
Exceptional Processability
The solid profile can be cut, mitred, routed, and shaped directly on-site. This allows for beautifully crafted stair nosings, curved edges, and exposed perimeters with no end caps required, giving architects and installers a truly seamless finish.
Superior Fastener Retention
The full cross-section material provides significantly higher screw pull-out resistance, making it the ideal choice for long-span designs and high-traffic installations.
For a long-lasting, high-performance decking solution you can be entirely confident in, choose Evolution capped composite decking.

Capped composite decking FAQs
What is capped composite decking?
Capped composite decking boards have a tough, protective outer layer, making them low maintenance, improving stain and fade resistance, and enhancing their durability.
At Ecodek, our Evolution collection incorporates EcoTech®, an advanced layer of protection for exceptional stain and colour fade resistance. It also means the boards are an easy-to-clean, low maintenance option.
What is the advantage of a capped composite board?
The three-sided capping found on our Evolution boards allows an enhanced woodgrain finish to be achieved. It also means the boards are stain and fade resistant. Read more about the difference between capped and uncapped composite decking.
How do you know if composite decking is capped?
You can usually tell if composite decking is capped by simply looking at the boards. If the top and sides look like they’re wrapped in a protective sleeve, it’s likely the boards are capped. The top and sides will also often appear shinier, smoother, and less porous than the core.
To understand if your decking is capped or uncapped, speak to a composite decking specialist, like our team at Ecodek: Contact us.
What’s the difference between capped and uncapped composite decking?
Capped decking has an additional layer, which gives the composite boards extra protection for a longer-lasting finish.
Uncapped composite boards don’t have this protective layer, but they are still a strong and durable choice for most decking applications.
Understand the difference between the boards by reading our article: The difference between capped and uncapped decking.
Does capped composite decking fade over time?
Our capped decking collection – Evolution- has a protective outer layer, meaning it is far less likely to fade when exposed to UV.
Can you paint capped composite decking?
We don’t recommend painting capped composite decking because it risks damaging the finish on the boards and overall aesthetic of your decked area. If you’ve got a colour scheme in mind for your decking, the best thing to do is choose boards with complementary hues.
Ecodek’s Evolution capped decking is available in eight different shades, from Ice Grey and Cool Sands, for a modern look, to Hazelnut Brown and Smokey Grey, for a more traditional finish.
