In recent years, alfresco drinking and dining have become the norm and many hospitality businesses have realised the importance of creating inviting outdoor spaces for customers to enjoy.
To maximise the potential of these outdoor areas, choosing the right flooring material is crucial. Composite decking is a great choice for bars, restaurants, and hotels, offering style, durability and long-term cost savings.
What is composite decking?
Composite decking is a stylish and sustainable flooring solution for outdoor hospitality spaces. It’s crafted from a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastic, making it more hardwearing and weather-resistant than traditional timber decking. With excellent slip-resistance properties, it’s a logical choice for business looking to create safe and welcoming outdoor spaces.
Additionally, its solid structure provides superior noise absorption properties, making it quieter underfoot and reducing noise pollution in dining environments.
Built to last in high footfall areas
Outdoor hospitality areas experience high footfall and need to withstand constant use. Commercial composite decking is specifically designed to prevent moisture-related damage, such as rotting or warping, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
Thanks to its polymer content, Ecodek limits moisture absorption to less than 1% compared with more than 25% for untreated timber. This means there is no need to stain, paint or treat the decking to prevent warping, swelling or distortion.
Focus on sustainability
Ecodek composite decking is made from 95% recycled and sustainably sourced materials. In addition, our production lines have achieved ‘carbon negative’ status, reinforcing our eco-friendly credentials.
Unlike plastic decking, which contributes to landfill waste, Ecodek composite boards can be recycled repeatedly, extending their lifecycle. Furthermore, because we manufacture in the UK, we can produce bespoke board lengths to minimise waste during installation, reducing environmental impact while saving on costs and installation time.
A long term investment
Creating an attractive and comfortable outdoor space is an essential aspect of encouraging customers to visit your venue -time and time again.
Investing in high-quality materials, such as composite decking, ensures that outdoor areas remain visually appealing and functional for years to come.
