DesignBoard Creates A Seamless Indoor/Outdoor Decking Design

It’s good to have more than one solution up your sleeve when clients present a challenge. An Indoor Outdoor Decking Design provided just the solution clients asked Garden House Design to create an outdoor dining area over an existing patio. Read on for composite decking ideas. 

The Design Problem

“We needed a flat, level surface, and a quick proposition,” explains Creative Director, Debs Winrow. This is because the project involved the installation of a Renson Camargue Louvred Roof Terrace cover. This stylish canopy helps to create a seamless indoor/outdoor space - “It needed something of a wow factor,” she adds - but the existing patio would have demanded a change of level from the house. It also had too much of a fall on it to accommodate the structure, and really wouldn’t have suited the new contemporary look.

One option was to rip-up the slabs and lay a completely new patio. DesignBoard composite decking not only offered a much faster solution, but made it possible to create an outdoor decking area that required no step out from the house and flowed from inside to outside the canopy, making a single, sleek floor.

 “It still needed the qualities of an outdoor product,” points out Debs. “Weather-proof, looking good, low maintenance and easy to clean.”

The Design Solution

Garden House Design chose Luna of the nine colours available, as the pale, consistent grey tone created a light foil for the glass walls and a good contrast with the dark charcoal structure. “DesignBoard’s colour range is extensive, and that makes it perfect to take to a generation of people who are into indoor/outdoor buildings.  And the DesignBoard toolbox was very helpful,” says Debs. “The client had to make a very quick decision and it was great that we had the range and samples to show them.”

Easy installation

This garden decking is installed using its own unique clip system, which creates consistent gapping along the long edges. “It gives a very concise, clean look,” says Debs.

From across the office, Rod Winrow chips in, “It’s so easy even Craig at London Stone can install it!” (Now, steady on, Rod!)

Seriously, it offers a millimetre-perfect finish. “For this project it was the ideal choice. It’s also easy to cut on site,” says Debs. “You can see from the photos that paving slabs would have looked awful for the outdoor sitting area. DesignBoard is a great contemporary alternative.”

Garden House Design have been so impressed with DesignBoard that they are now one of our DesignBoard partners, offering it to the trade and clients, and will be displaying it at shows and exhibitions around the country this year.

Both we and Garden House Design are very excited by the possibilities of this composite decking, as nothing else on the market has its quality or is so firmly aimed at offering solutions for indoor/outdoor spaces with a sleek contemporary design.
