Pool surround

Q: Which is better, wooden decking or WPC?

It depends on what is important to you. Wooden decking is 100% natural, looks warm and inviting and is ideal for nature lovers. Weathering, cracks or splinters can be an issue, as can warping. Wooden decks can also become very slippery when wet, especially when a green coating has formed. Therefore, your wooden deck requires regular maintenance to limit any natural weathering. Read more about the different woods for decking material. WPC decks make for more modern patios. Even though the plank structure is similar to that of wooden decking, WPC planks are characterised by a high degree of uniformity. Neither splinters nor cracks are to be expected. If you want solid, good-looking decking boards that require little maintenance, there’s nothing like WPC decking. Check out more about their pros and cons here.

WPC decks make for more modern patios. Even though the plank structure is similar to that of wooden decking, WPC planks are characterised by a high degree of uniformity.

In addition to the general installation instructions of the manufacturers, there are a few more things to consider. Crucially, you should pay attention to the subfloor. This is because it supports the whole deck construction and must be more stable and weather-resistant than the planks themselves. While the boards can be easily replaced from above, repairing a substructure is a much bigger job. Today, decking boards are usually installed with clips, which makes the process relatively easy and also makes screws invisible. Here are the most important tips for laying decking boards.

This varies greatly. Decking boards are sold by the metre (running metre). The different prices for wooden decking boards are down to availability, transport routes and durability. For WPC decking boards, it depends on the manufacturer, material composition, raw material quality, dimensions and quality control. Currently we’re seeing the following market prices per running metre:

WPC hollow planks 3–8 €
WPC solid planks 5–15 €
Sheathed WPC planks 7–20 €
Titanwood WPC planks 7–15 €

Decking can be laid on almost any surface. This is because it is almost always possible to find a suitable solution for building the right substructure. Solid subfloors such as concrete, tiles or slabs are ideal and require minimal preparatory work. Gravel surfaces are also load-bearing and therefore possible. If you want to lay decking boards on soil, you must create load-bearing supports for the substructure. Click here for more information on planning terraces.
