Decking for commercial projects

Sustainable decking is decking that is sourced, manufactured, transported, installed, and cared for in ways that limit negative impact on the environment.

At Ecodek, our composite decking boards are made from 95% recycled and sustainably-sourced raw materials. Around 60% of this material  is sustainably-sourced wood fibre, which is PEFC/16-37-1226 certified. These credentials mean the wood fibres can be traced back to the forests they came from, which are managed responsibly and sustainably.

Around 35% of the material in our composite boards is made up of recycled HDPE polymer, which is recycled plastic from consumer waste, often recycled plastic milk bottles.

We also supply aluminium decking made from 100% recycled aluminium. By opting for this recycled material, we only use around  5% of the energy needed for primary production, without compromising board strength, durability, or aesthetic.

Our composite and aluminium boards can all be recycled after use, promoting a circular economy. We also offer a waste buy back scheme for our composite collections.

Decking comes in many different forms:

• Traditional timber deck boards are made from real wood.
• Composite decking is manufactured from a blend of wood fibres and other materials, such as plastic (or recycled milk bottles in Ecodek’s case).
• Aluminium deck boards are made from, you guessed it, aluminium, to give them higher levels of fire resistance than other boards, like timber.
• PVC deck boards are made from PVC-u and are a lower-cost alternative to composite decking.
• Non-slip boards are perfect for decking areas where high slip resistance is a necessity.

Contact us for advice on selecting the most appropriate materials for decking projects of all scales and sizes.

The type of decking that’s right for your project depends on numerous factors, from the application and footfall levels, to the size and scale of the area. For example, aluminium decking is often used on high-rise balconies as it’s got a high fire rating, while composite decking is often used near water as it’s much less likely to degrade from moisture than timber and, therefore, last longer.

Commercial decking is engineered specifically to withstand the rigorous daily demands of high-traffic and public environments. Unlike standard domestic boards, commercial-grade decking typically features a heavy-duty solid core profile or non-combustible aluminium materials to deliver exceptional structural integrity. Our commercial decking collections are  highly robust solutions built to withstand heavy footfall, delivering proven results and long-term value for demanding outdoor spaces without complex maintenance. 

Commercial decking is essential for projects that require maximum durability, high slip resistance, and strict safety compliance, such as hospitality venues, public boardwalks, and high-rise developments. It is designed for installers, contractors, architects, and specifiers who require reliable materials that perform under pressure. Using purpose-built commercial boards ensures long-term safety for the end user, whilst eliminating demanding maintenance overheads and preventing costly callbacks for the installer. 

We provide installers and specifiers with the reliability and dedicated support of a UK-based partner. Our heavy-duty composite and fire-rated aluminium systems are rigorously tested at our Scunthorpe facility, ensuring consistent quality and the dependable stock levels required for large-scale projects. By combining sustainable, circular manufacturing with expert technical guidance, we help you achieve the best outcome for your clients with materials that are responsibly made and built to last.
